Dear Health Advocates,



In light of the Supreme Court staying the Fifth Circuit Appeals Court decision on mifepristone, it's important that we stay engaged and advocate for access to lifesaving medications. Now is also the time to continue to lift up the importance of Medicaid, especially during the debt ceiling negotiations. Additional resources, events, and action items are also below:
