Friend --

Today is the day of Medicaid Expansion Digital Advocacy Day! We are uniting online with advocates across North Carolina to welcome our lawmakers back to Raleigh with one simple message “Save Lives, Protect Hospitals, No Excuses, Expand Medicaid.”

The Covid-19 pandemic reminds us that we are all in this together and expanding Medicaid will help our North Carolina families weather the storm during this public health crisis and beyond.
