Protect Vital Services: Take Action with Easterseals

Protect vital services like Medicaid, SCSEP, and Head Start. Easterseals Action gives you the tools to engage policymakers and mobilize your community effectively.

Millions of people with disabilities, older adults, veterans, and their families rely on Medicaid, Head Start, accessible transportation, and employment programs for older Americans. These critical services are under threat, and our unified voice is more important than ever.

Talk to Your Legislators

In thousands of communities across America, we’re working for children and adults with disabilities, older adults, veterans, and their families. We need your help. Below is our latest action alert. Your participation ensures legislators know about crucial needs in your community. 

Tell Congress to Protect Medicaid Disability Services

Medicaid disability services are what make it possible for more than 8 million people to live at home and stay connected to their communities. This means staying in your own home instead of nursing homes or institutions. It means independence. Take action and tell Congress to protect community care.

As a disabled writer, commissioner, filmmaker, and spoken word artist, advocacy is woven into the very fabric of my life. Storytelling, like advocacy, can be uncomfortable because it challenges the status quo. However, speaking your truth is powerful.
