We’re still waiting for Congress to expand home-and community-based services through the COVID-19 reconciliation bill — so let’s make our voices heard! As weeks go by without action, we have to let Congress know that they must deliver on their promises and make sure our community is able to access the services we need. Let’s speak up, make some noise, and get this funding past the finish line!

Call your members of Congress today! Call 202-224-3121 and ask to be connected with your member of Congress. 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?

Have call anxiety, or wondering what to expect from a call to your elected officials? Check out this guide to making a call to your members of Congress.

After you’ve called, you can also use our easy email tool to remind your members of Congress that #CareCantWait!
