Dear [Decision Maker],
I'm reaching out to express my support for Medicaid, especially its vital role funding home- and community-based services (HCBS). Continued investment in disability services is essential--not only to maintain existing supports but to expand them to meet growing needs. For people with disabilities, this federal funding creates the opportunity for a productive life of health, dignity and community inclusion. Funding for disability services is an equity issue with life and death consequences. I stand with people with disabilities, their families, support staff, and community partners. I request that you advance:-Funding for programs that allow people with disabilities to live at home in their communities, without having to wait years to get the supports they need.- #PaidLeaveForAll so workers don't have to risk losing their jobs when taking time off to care for a loved one.-Investment in the pay and benefits for direct care workers, who perform critical work.-Access to high-quality and affordable childcare and early education for every family. Please meet the promises of disability services so that all can participate in a more equitable future.
Sincerely,[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State ZIP][Your Email]
