Recess Action Resources

For the August recess, put pressure on congress to protect and improve access to healthcare!
​

We can use the congressional recess period in August (August 1-Sept 4)  to put pressure on members of Congress to protect Medicaid, defend the ACA, and reject any renewed efforts to resurrect a Republican health care repeal plan cut Medicaid and other health care programs in next year's budget. This is an excellent opportunity for your advocacy! Please see the list of resource advocacy guides below to get started:

1)      Protect Our Care Recess Packet: Activities/Tactics, Key Targets, Talking points and more
