On Wednesday, May 7, ANCOR will be taking part in a 24-hour Vigil to Protect Medicaid in Washington, DC to share stories about how Medicaid is a critical lifeline for people with disabilities and why Congress should oppose cuts to the Medicaid program. This vigil will likely coincide with the House Energy and Commerce Committee markup of legislation that could lead to deep cuts to Medicaid.
You are invited to join us at this vigil for any time during the 24 hours that begins on May 7 at 1:00 pm and ends on May 8 at 1:00 pm. There will be a rally to kick off the vigil and a rally to close the vigil.
ANCOR will also be hosting a one-hour block where we will share stories about how Medicaid supports people with disabilities, families, and our communities. That hour will be on May 7 from 8:00 pm – 9:00 pm. We especially encourage you to join us for that hour and share your stories!
