Dear Health Advocates,

We have another busy week of advocacy ahead, and we wanted to keep you in the loop on what's coming up as we 'officially' enter Summer. With Medicaid redeterminations still ongoing, we're tracking the best ways to be helpful to those losing their coverage. Related to that, we're also amplifying the recent virtual conversation on the Medicaid redetermination and unwinding process that our Executive Director, Frederick Isasi, was invited to take part in with CMS.  Please find those resources below, and feel free to share with your networks! Additional resources, events, and items are also below:
