The Senate just passed the budget bill, and it’s bad. The bill includes:

• Nearly $1 trillion in Medicaid cuts. That’s about 20% of the federal Medicaid budget. It would cause nearly 17 million people to lose coverage.
• Nearly $200 billion in cuts to SNAP. Less food assistance means more people will go hungry, including millions of kids.
• A new private school voucher program that redirects public education funding to private schools. This will make it even harder for children with disabilities to access essential special education services.

Take action now to help us protect the very foundation of care and services!

What’s next? The Senate and the House must agree on a final bill to send to the President for his signature.

“This isn’t over yet, but this is serious, and we need your help,” said Katy Neas, CEO of The Arc of the United States. “With your calls, emails, and texts, we can still reach the hearts and minds of members of Congress on what these cuts will mean for people with disabilities and their families.”

We must stop these devastating cuts before it’s too late!
