The time to act is now! The House is preparing to vote on the COVID recovery bill. Thanks to your advocacy, the bill includes $150 billion for home- and community-based services (HCBS), an investment that would increase access to services and improve support workers’ pay. Now, we just have to keep up the pressure until the bill is passed. Call your legislators now to make sure that HCBS stays in the bill! Give your Senators and Representative a call today. You can use our script: My name is [your full name], and I am from [city]. I’m calling to ask Senator/Representative [Name] to make sure that at least $150 billion in funding for home- and community-based services stays in the COVID recovery bill. This funding would provide a critical investment in services for people with disabilities and aging adults, as well as the workforce that provides those supports. Many people with disabilities and aging adults rely on home- and community-based services to do things like get dressed, take care of our families, work, and participate in our communities. Right now, thousands of people can’t get the support they need. We need a big investment to make these services work for everyone who needs them. Can I count on the Senator/Representative’s support? After you've called, you can also email your members of Congress. It just takes a few clicks to make your voice heard with our email tool! Wondering what to expect from a call to your elected officials? Check out this guide to making a call to your members of Congress. These critical moments are when we most need to place pressure on our elected officials and let them know that this funding is urgent. By calling your Representative and Senators, you are playing a vital role in this fight for our rights. We are deeply grateful for your ongoing support and advocacy. Let's keep up the pressure on Congress and ensure HCBS makes it across the finish line! Autistic Self Advocacy Network PO Box 66122
