Protect Medicaid Coalition

📆 Beginning Wednesday, January 14, 2026
⌚ 1:00 to 2:00 PM
🌐 Zoom:

Back in February, ACI launched the Protect Medicaid Coalition. From the 800 people who attended our Medicaid rally to town halls, press conferences, voter registration drives, calls to Congress, and testimony at public hearings…we showed up, spoke out, and demanded to be heard.

While federal cuts to Medicaid ultimately went through, our advocacy made an impact at the state level. And we’re just getting started…

As we head into the new year, we face:

  • Medicaid and SNAP cuts taking effect

  • A new Governor and state legislature

  • An urgent need to protect disability services and programs

ACI is ready to fight and we need YOU with us. The Protect Medicaid Coalition will be having virtual meetings every month to build our strategy and take action.

Together, we will protect vital programs and rights. Let’s keep the pressure on!
