RECESS RECAP: Care in Action, Workers and Families Organized Across the Country to Demand Members of Congress Stop Medicaid Cuts

WASHINGTON, D.C. – This recess, Care in Action and our members made sure lawmakers heard how we feel about cutting Medicaid to fund billionaires’ tax breaks: cuts to Medicaid are not an option.

Care in Action organized town halls, office drop-ins, and rallies across Arizona, California, Georgia, Virginia, and New Jersey where constituents spoke up about how Medicaid cuts would threaten their lives and livelihoods:

On Saturday, Constituents in AZ-06 organized a town hall to talk to Rep. Ciscomani about the impact Medicaid cuts would have on their lives – but Rep. Ciscomani skipped it.
On Tuesday, CA-40 constituents and workers rallied outside of Rep. Kim’s district office to protest Medicaid cuts, with hundreds showing up to express their anger.
On Wednesday, Michigan care workers and families showed up to protest Medicaid cuts outside the district office of Rep. John James (MI-10).
On Saturday, a Care in Action organizer joined VA-02 constituents at the “Where Is Jen Kiggans” town hall and highlighted the huge difference Medicaid makes for seniors, disabled people, and families, and the New Jersey Domestic Worker coalition gathered at a town hall in NJ-04 to call on lawmakers to stop Medicaid cuts.

Care workers and families couldn’t be clearer: they don’t want to lose Medicaid so billionaires can get even richer.
