The brutal cuts made earlier this month to Medicaid, Medicare, food assistance, housing, and education by Congress and the White House are an attack on millions of people across the country - and we're not staying silent.

This is our moment to rise, resist, and organize. Join us for a powerful national event where we’ll:
✅ Break down what’s in the bill
✅ Reveal how and why it passed
✅ Share key lessons
✅ Take action together to fight back

💥 PLUS: We’ll celebrate 60 years of Medicaid and Medicare—and chart a bold path forward.

✊🏽 This is more than a webinar. It’s a movement.
