February Medicaid Coalition Meeting




Hi all,




Our February Medicaid Coalition meeting will be hybrid on February 20 at 2 PM ET.  Please stay tuned as we confirm a few more speakers in the coming weeks. You can sign up to attend in person here. If you are unable to attend in person, you can register to attend virtually here.




We also have an upcoming Day of Action/Call-In Day for Medicaid Defense next Thursday, February 6.  Please join Families USA, Community Catalyst, Center on Budget and Policy Priorities (CBPP), and NHeLP on Friday, January 31st from 2:00 – 2:30 p.m. ET to prepare for an upcoming Day of Action/Call-In Day for Medicaid Defense with advocates across the country.




During the prep call we’ll discuss the following – and how to make it clear to policymakers that Medicaid saves lives, cutting funding will take away critical care from those who need it most, and we are saying “Hands off Medicaid.”

Details about the February 6th Day of Action and continued outreach to Congress;
Resources and ways to mobilize your communities and coalitions into action (e.g., call/email script, template fact sheet, template press release, social media toolkit, etc.); and
State partners experiences planning a successful day of action.

Register here for our January 31st prep call at 2:00-2:30 p.m. ET so you can prepare for February 6th.




We can't wait to see you all there!
