Congress is proposing major cuts to Medicaid and Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) which would unravel the supports and services that people with intellectual and developmental disabilities rely on.

Please click the link below and follow the steps included. The Arc of the US is calling on individuals with  intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) and their families to weigh in with their federal representatives. 

The Action Alert includes additional details about the potential cuts and a sample letter that you can personalize. You must fill out the form at the bottom of the page with your contact information to ensure the letter can be sent to the elected officials who represent your district. Once you input your contact information, remember to personalize the letter by making changes to the text before hitting submit.

Take action on this very important issue. The proposals being discussed in Washington, if they are allowed to move forward, will have very serious consequences for people with I/DD. It is important that you let your elected officials know what kind of impact these decisions will have on you or a loved one.
