I’m so excited to share this conversation I had with @chrislhayes about care with all of you. This week’s Why Is This Happening Pod goes deep on why care is such a struggle, and why change is not only possible, it’s on its way. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the…
BREAKING: Thousands are in the streets to stand up to the politicians who cut our healthcare to fuel ICE and further enrich billionaires. Signs ready, chants loud. 🪧🗣️Let’s hold them accountable! 🔥 #FamiliesFirst #SolidaritySummer
No better way to spend a Saturday than standing up for #Medicaid and families with my friends at @CaringAcrossGen #FamiliesFirst. With a nearly 50% rise in family caregivers over the past decade, family policy is more vital than ever. So grateful to the folks that made this week…
Our lives are at stake. We will never stop fighting these cruel deadly cuts to our health care. #SaveMedicaidSaveFamilies

My son spoke on a stage for the first time to defend Medicaid. When I asked if he was nervous, he said, no, what’s more important than sharing someone’s story. #FamiliesFirst #CareNotCuts
For 60 hours we held vigil for the Medicaid 60th anniversary after the historic cuts that just passed, and now we are hosting the #FamiliesFirst rallies all over the country- thousands of intergenerational peaceful protesters telling our elected leaders #SaveMedicaidSaveFamilies
We’re here with our partners at #FamiliesFirst New Jersey to say #CareNotCuts. Cutting Medicaid, care, and food all to serve billionaires is a betrayal of families everywhere.
Yesterday, we brought the #MedicaidVigil to the halls of Congress. We were joined by @TheSteveWay and Patrice from @PatriceTheMovie to tell our stories Congress needs to continue hearing from us – keep calling, keep writing. Text ACTION to 227464. #ProtectMedicaid
🚨HEARTBREAKING: Rob Stone traveled all the way to DC in his WHEELCHAIR because he is afraid OTHERS will lose their Medicaid and food assistance - especially children - under Trump’s Bullshit bill. Please help us spread his message. Here’s what Rob wants YOU to know: ❌ 40…

Republicans jammed thru a big ugly bill that snatched health care from patients and food from hungry children to give billionaires a bigger tax break — then fled DC rather than release the Epstein files. But people are fighting back! Join us: text VIGIL to 22764 #MedicaidCutsKill
We’re 20 hours into our 60-hour #MedicaidVigil. So many caregivers, aging adults, disabled people, families, and advocates are coming together with one clear message: we will not “get over” losing Medicaid and we will never stop fighting for our care.
🚨BREAKING: Senator Chris Van Hollen says Republicans BETRAYED America and they have to PAY in the next election: “They voted for a bill that (was) beautiful for billionaires, ugly for everybody else. By holding people accountable for their actions we can help change the story.”
As we kick off our 60-hour vigil. My brother Chris’s words are a reminder of why we’re fighting for the legacy–and the future–of Medicaid. “I am Medicaid, don’t extinguish me.” #CancelCutsToMedicaid
