Your Voice Matters in Advocacy
One of our key roles is to keep you informed about policy decisions that impact your life and to educate legislators who often don’t know the challenges you face. But we need your voice to help tell the story. You don’t need to be an expert—you’re the expert on your own life. Share how meals, transportation, in-home care, and medications help you stay well and independent. Legislators need to hear it from you!
Your Voice Matters Now More Than Ever
Congress is preparing to make critical decisions that could significantly impact programs like Medicaid, which many in our community rely on for meals, transportation, in-home care, and vital medications. Policymakers need to hear directly from you—the people whose lives are affected.
Share your story and help legislators understand why these programs are essential to staying healthy and independent. Below, you’ll find tools and resources to stay informed and empowered to speak up. Together, we can make a difference.
