Protect Medicaid. No cuts. No harm.

AdvocacyDenver Action Alert
The Arc: for People with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities

Congress is considering cutting Medicaid by $880 billion. There’s no way to do that without taking away critical health care and services from people with disabilities.

A woman helping a child fingerpaint.

The truth is simple: Cutting Medicaid will hurt millions of children and adults.

Slashing funding at this scale will lead to fewer services, fewer caregivers, and fewer life-sustaining services. Some may lose eligibility altogether!

Medicaid is already the most cost-efficient health insurance program, with safeguards in place to prevent waste, fraud, and abuse.These dangerous cuts must be stopped. Contact your members of Congress today and urge them to protect Medicaid.

Medicaid is on the line

AdvocacyDenver Action Alert
The Arc: for People with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities

Millions of people with disabilities rely on Medicaid for health care and for the support they need to live in their communities. If Medicaid cuts happen, access to these vital services could be lost.

Tell Congress that people with disabilities need Medicaid to thrive, and real lives will be affected if there are cuts.

We need your help to make sure your members of Congress know what’s at stake for people with disabilities.

Send a message now and tell them why Medicaid must be protected. It takes just a few minutes, but it can make a huge difference.

Sexuality Education Shorts: Are You in a Healthy Relationship?

Sexuality Education Shorts: Are You in a Healthy Relationship?

Sexuality Education Shorts offer accessible and inclusive information for both Parents and Self-Advocates on healthy bodies and relationships in under 10 minutes.

When we are dating and looking for a romantic relationship it’s important to know what a healthy relationship looks like and what an unhealthy or abusive relationship looks like. This can be hard to do when you are with someone you care about. You might love and support one another, share common interests, and spend a lot of time together, but it’s important to know when your relationship might become abusive so you can protect yourself and get help.
