Based on recent statements and policy agendas from Congressional majority leaders who now control both the House and the Senate with the start of the new Congress, it is clear that they are seeking deep cuts to Medicaid and other domestic programs. Lutheran Services in America has two opportunities for you to join us to protect Medicaid.
- Join us on February 13 at 1 p.m. ET for the next session of our Capitol Conversations series, “What’s at Stake: Medicaid at Risk in the Expiring Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.”
- This webinar will provide a unique opportunity to hear directly from key policymakers, leading experts, and Lutheran Services in America staff as we explore the latest legislative developments under the new Congress, the risks they pose to Medicaid, and what’s at stake for our network and the communities we support.
- Take Action: We invite you to use our advocacy tool to urge your lawmakers to protect Medicaid and oppose any legislation that seeks to cap, cut, or block grant Medicaid. We encourage you to personalize the message, including stories of how important Medicaid is to the work that you and your organization do, and to share this message with your colleagues and partners.
This is a critical moment for action. Join us in using our united faith-based voice to strengthen our collective advocacy and ensure our mission remains at the heart of this national conversation.
