Jen Flynn Walker: We've been organizing people on Medicaid and people who rely on the ACA for years now. They're really facing the reality that they are in danger of losing all of their healthcare access, and it is not hyperbolic to say that if they lose their health care coverage, they will die.

My mind, heart, and imagination had been arrested by this idea that we are much better than this and that the wealthiest country on the planet can afford to provide basic healthcare to all of its citizens." - @warnock.senate.gov

Our member Miriam shares her story in Washington DC to fight back against life-threatening cuts to care:
“As a home health aide who works closely with elderly patients, our seniors rely on Medicaid and similar programs for survival. They need frequent medical care...”
#NoMedicaidCuts #CareNotCuts
"Cuts to our healthcare system will kill people. In other words, that’s murder.” - @chuygarcia.house.gov

“The raids on immigrants across this country is directly tied to their attacks on Medicaid and Social Security. We have to stand up and fight back. We are not going to let our people be killed." - @jayapal.house.gov
Let’s organize and say to them one final time: #HandsOffOurMedicaid
"The only way to beat a movement is with a movement. We're here today because we're going to match their energy. WE WON’T BACK DOWN!" - @pressley.house.gov

📢 HAPPENING NOW
We’re rallying and making it clear: Healthcare Cuts Kill!
As our Co-Executive Director Analilia Mejía says: “A society that denies its people healthcare is a cruel, shameful and disgusting one.”
#CareNotCuts
#HandsOffMedicaid
Buenos días!☀️
Today, our health team & members are joining @popdemoc.bsky.social and hundreds of community members and allies in Washington DC to demand #CareNotCuts to the lifesaving programs our communities need to survive.
Our health. Our dignity. Our lives.
HEALTH CARE IS A PUBLIC GOOD — not a luxury for the rich.
That’s why today we are with @popdemoc.bsky.social to call on Congress to protect what’s ours: Medicaid, Medicare, Reproductive care, the ACA. #CareNotCuts
Our health care, our dignity, our lives — ALL of it is on the line.
Today, we are saying loud and clear with @popdemoc.bsky.social & national allies:
#CareNotCuts #HandsOffMedicaid
Momentum is rising for the #EmPIREAct!
More NY legislators are stepping up to protect our paychecks + end corporate greed.
We’re fighting back against wage theft, abusive bosses, & the billion-dollar crisis hurting working families.
👀 This is what leadership looks like.

Workers or billionaires?
These champions have chosen to side with workers by supporting the EmPIRE Act!
Now we need to get EmPIRE passed this session and stop wage theft from harming our communities. Hit the link.

The EmPIRE Act is NY’s defense against Trump’s attack on workers. Workers from across NYS gathered at the Capitol demanding action against rampant wage theft by powerful employers who silence workers. Let’s pass my bill & protect the rights & wages of NY’s workers.

We need your help to make the #EmPIREAct into law.
We must pass the EMPIRE Act to protect our paychecks and our dignity.
In the name of worker justice, we hit Albany with heart, power, and a photo booth!
Wage theft is a billion-dollar crisis in New York, and we're done being silent about it. The #EmPIREAct would give us the tools to get our stolen wages back & hold abusive employers accountable.

And it’s still happening to her co-workers.
The #EmPIREAct is how we stop this abuse and violence!

Black and white photo of Ninfa Lopez and her daughters in the lower left corner. To the right, a teal quote box reads: “When I left, he never paid me what he owed me. This is why I need the EmPIRE Act to pass, so this never happens to anyone again.” — Ninfa Lopez, Former Dry Cleaners Employee Above the photo is her full written story in black text on a cream background. Ninfa describes experiencing wage theft at two dry cleaners, working over 60 hours per week for $12/hour, with no benefits, holidays, or overtime pay.
Bold teal text at the top reads: “We need you to stand with workers like Ninfa.” Below it says: “Make a 1-minute call to demand our leaders in Albany pass the EmPIRE Act!” Centered in the graphic is a large teal button that reads: “bit.ly/EmPIRECall.” At the bottom is a large group photo of over 20 diverse people standing together, holding signs that say: “Pass the EmPIRE Act,” “End Wage Theft,” and “EmPIRE Act Puts Money Back in Workers’ Pockets.” Logos of supporting organizations are displayed across the bottom of the image.
Ninfa worked 60 hours a week for $12/hour.
No overtime. No sick leave. No holidays.
Below minimum wage for years.
When she asked for fair pay, her boss said no.
When she finally quit, he refused to pay her what he owed.
This is wage theft!
Congress' reconciliation bill will deprive children & families of nutrition + health support while supercharging an immigration agenda that threatens our communities.

Map of the U.S. showing voter support for Medicaid cuts by congressional district. Support for Medicaid cuts ranges from 5% to 11%. Created by Data for Progress and Caring Across Generations.
There is not a single congressional district in the U.S. where more than 15% of voters support cuts to Medicaid.
