    It’s been one year since the federal Covid-19 public emergency ended and a massive ‘Medicaid unwinding’ began. During the height of the pandemic, states were barred by Congress from disenrolling Medicaid recipients from their rolls, but that came to an end last year. As a result, more than 20 million people lost their Medicaid coverage in the last year. About 1 in 5 people with Medicaid have been disenrolled, and nearly 1 out of 4 adults who were disenrolled are still uninsured today. Add your name to build pressure for Medicare for All!

    Ro Khanna’s State-Based Universal Health Care Act would eliminate the “ERISA Problem” along with a number of other federal regulatory hurdles states might face in passing single payer systems. We should be pushing our New York delegation to sign on. Rep. Jamaal Bowman already has!

    Project 2025back to top

    MAGA’s plan to install Christian Nationalism as the law of the land, dubbed Project 2025, is the terrifying end game we are fighting desperately to prevent in this election. Politico’s Alexander Ward and Heidi Przybyla wrote a great piece documenting how Trump plans to “infuse Christian nationalist ideas in his administration” if he’s elected president again. Here’s how you can help.

    1. Check out StopTheCoup
    2. Sign up to defend democracy from Trump with Project 2024: Majority Over MAGA.
    3. Call your senator and demand they protect IVF access nationwide.
    4. If your representative is a Democrat, demand they oppose all extreme MAGA policy riders.
    5. If you have a Democratic senator (or two!), demand they oppose all extreme MAGA policy riders.
    6. Write an LTE about the MAGA plan to privatize Medicare using our easy tool.
