Call Senators to vote YES on Medicaid amendment!

April 4, 2025

The next few months will be about making the most of the opportunities presented to us and to (as John Lewis famously said) make some good trouble. Let’s make the most of this moment.

Hi Lauri,   It’s Friday night and there’s a great opportunity right now to help protect Medicaid funding. As you read this, the Senate is considering amendments to its budget resolution before a full vote. Senators Josh Hawley (R-MO) and Ron Wyden (D-OR) just introduced a bipartisan amendment that would strip out the current instructions for the House to cut $880 billion in funding, most of which would have to come from Medicaid. How about a little Friday night dialing? Let’s call our Senators to urge them to VOTE YES on this amendment. We drafted a super quick call script via the below link.

CALL YOUR SENATOR

Let’s try to take advantage of this opportunity and show our Senators we’re paying very close attention! As always, thank you for being an advocate.

Sincerely,  Connor McKay
