Tuesday, May 27 - Healthcare Phone Bank TOMORROW / U.S. v. Skrmetti Response / Witness Slip Roundup
ICA & Partner Action: Phone Bank for Healthcare
The GOP-controlled House passed a cruel budget bill that threatens to cut health care for nearly 14 million Americans by reducing Medicaid and ACA support, while giving large tax breaks to the wealthy. It also mandates sequestration cuts to Medicare totaling $500 billion, risking hospital closures and job losses in Illinois and nationwide. These cuts are unpopular even among some Republicans, which is why the bill was rushed through with limited hearings. This bill is not final, and we can still defeat it.
👉 Join us for an upcoming phone bank. Your voice can make a difference.

Partner Action: Witness Slip Roundup
The Illinois General Assembly is back in Session, and now’s the time to make your voice heard! A Witness Slip is a person or group's position on a particular bill. Filling out a witness slip is a great way to let legislators know whether you support or oppose a bill.
Witness slips are read during a committee hearing and help inform legislators as to where people stand, allowing informed decisions when voting. Witness slips are a quick way to make your voice heard in state government.
👉 Fill out these witness slips as PROPONENT to support legislation that addresses gender-based violence, promotes health equity, and upholds human rights. Even if you have submitted a witness slip for a particular bill in a previous committee hearing, you still need to submit a new witness slip for this upcoming hearing.
Not sure how to fill out a witness slip? Check the link above for instructions!
