People with disabilities have been hit the hardest by COVID-19, but we’re still waiting as the Senate enjoys a long, comfortable holiday break instead of doing their job. People with disabilities living in dangerous congregate settings or sitting on waiting lists don’t have that luxury. Help us tell our Senators to get back to work and get this done!

Give your Senators a call today. Call 202-224-3121 to speak to your Senators’ office, or look up your Senators’ offices’ contact info here [[link removed]] . You can use our script:

Hello. My name is [your full name] , and I am from [city] . I’m calling to express my extreme disappointment and frustration that the Build Back Better Act hasn’t passed yet. The Senate must quickly pass the Build Back Better package that includes at least $150 billion for Medicaid home- and community-based services.

Home and community-based services funded by Medicaid allow people with disabilities like [me/ my family member/ my friends/ my neighbor/ etc.] to continue living safely at home. These services keep people with disabilities out of institutions. The House has already included this funding in the Build Back Better Act. But we’re still waiting on the Senate to include it too. This funding is a life and death issue for disabled [residents of your state] . Can I count on Senator [Name] to stand up for people with disabilities by getting the Senate bill over the finish line quickly?

Living safely in our communities is a civil right — let’s tell our Senators that when it comes to keeping us all safe, we refuse to leave anyone behind.
