Medicaid, home care, and disability rights are under attack. Prop 50 helps us fight back and make our votes count. YES on Prop 50!
bit.ly/Prop50Disability
Heading reads Disabled People: Vote Yes on Prop 50, next to a graphic of a dark-skinned hand putting a ballot in a voting box. Text reads: The current Congress has voted to dramatically cut health care and home care, roll back reproductive rights, cut special education support, and target immigrants and trans people. Texas and Missouri have already changed Congressional districts to solidify power. It’s time to fight fire with fire. Prop 50 will temporarily change California’s Congressional district lines, just until 2030, so that we can stop Congress from destroying the lives of disabled people, especially Black and brown people, trans people, and immigrants. Let’s pass Prop 50! Learn more & get involved at bit.ly/Prop50Disability.

We at SDA are full of outrage and grief at the passage of the federal budget reconciliation bill last week.

Read our full statement on our website. bit.ly/SDA-budget-r...
Yellow background and red border. SDA's logo at the top. Text reads: We at SDA are full of outrage and grief at the passage of the federal budget reconciliation bill last week. As many of our allies have pointed out, the implementation of this bill will take time, and we can continue to fight at every point in this process. We will take care of each other, in ways big and small. We will help each other with the bureaucratic burdens of Medicaid, as new work requirement rules try to push people off the rolls. We will work to delay the cuts that are promised in this bill, and keep fighting to hold our elected officials accountable for the untold harm and devastation that they have caused.

Sign up to phonebank in states with senators who could be moved to vote against healthcare cuts in the federal budget. Go to bit.ly/SaveTransHea... to sign up and get more information on phonebanks currently scheduled. Now is the time to take action!
A graphic with a pink and blue border and an image of a wheelchair user. Text reads: trans and disabled people say: protect our healthcare! The federal budget bill moving quickly through the Senate contains devastating cuts to Medicaid, and would effectively ban gender-affirming care for trans kids and adults on the program. [arrows pointing right] This is also a huge issue for disabled communities. In California alone, 2.3 million seniors and disabled people rely on Medicaid for for crucial healthcare and home/community-based services. We need to take action against these cuts, and here’s one way to do that. [arrows pointing right] Join us to call voters in states where we can push Senators to vote against healthcare cuts.
