John, a new report from Yale Budget Lab has revealed that under the current budget proposal being negotiated in Congress, 70% of the benefits from the tax changes would go to the richest 5% of Americans .

Worse still: it’ll be paid for by cutting $880 BILLION in funding for critical programs like Medicaid and push costs up for the 40% of Americans with the lowest income.

We’ve been here before. We know what happens when lawmakers try to balance the budget on the backs of working people — especially the Black, Latina, immigrant, and poor communities of care workers.

Congress is rapidly advancing through negotiations to get a framework for the budget deal in place, and that means we need to rapidly ramp up the calls on our lawmakers to protect Medicaid from funding cuts.

John, can you urgently add your voice to call on Congress not to cut care to give tax cuts to billionaires? [[link removed]]

Our lawmakers’ job is to ensure that the 72 million people who rely on Medicaid for healthcare don’t lose that lifeline, and that care workers who count on Medicaid for their livelihoods don’t lose their income.

Angela, a care worker, mother, and NDWA member knows what’s at stake:

“People assume Medicaid is being abused, but what about the people who truly need it — like my son? This is not something he will ‘grow out of.’ His disabilities are lifelong, and he, like so many others, deserves the care he needs to survive.”

Angela works hard. She’s a caregiver, a mother, and an advocate. But no single family can carry this alone — and they shouldn’t have to. Medicaid isn’t a luxury. It’s a lifeline.

John, with the budget negotiation process speeding up, we need all hands on deck to tell Congress: Hands Off Our Medicaid! [[link removed]]

Medicaid funds home and community-based care. It pays for therapies, doctor visits, and prescriptions for our children and elders. It helps millions of care workers, domestic workers, and working families stay healthy and survive.

It isn’t just healthcare—it’s the foundation of home care jobs, and we’ll fight to protect it with everything we’ve got.

Thanks for all that you do,

Advocacy Team

The majority of domestic workers sit at the center of some of our nation’s most decisive issues because of who they are and what they do: they are women – mostly women of color, immigrants, mothers, and low-wage workers. They are impacted by almost every policy affecting the future of our economy, democracy and country.

Domestic workers can lead us toward a new, inclusive vision for the future for all of us -- and your grassroots support is the fuel that can get us there.
