💬 “I can't imagine if we didn't have #Medicaid and had to think every time we took her to the hospital.”

We must #ProtectMedicaid care for kids like June.

“It made my family possible.”
Yes, Medicaid does just that! It makes life, and life at home, possible for kids and adults with disabilities.

‘Little Lobbyists’ Urge Senators to Oppose Trump’s Bill Cutting Medicaid Children with disabilities and their parents who rely on the health insurance program took to Capitol Hill this week to warn that the proposed reductions could be ‘devastating.’

Member of the Little Lobbyists, a group of children with disabilities and their parents who rely on Medicaid, took to Capitol Hill this week to warn that the proposed reductions to the health insurance program could be devastating.

The Big Bad Betrayal Bill is so dangerous that Little Lobbyists from as far as Alaska & Utah, dropped everything to come to DC and tell their senators, “DO NOT CUT A SINGLE DIME OFF MEDICAID!” If their electeds didn’t absorb that, hopefully this NYT article will tattoo it in their heads & hearts!

‘Little Lobbyists’ Urge Senators to Oppose Trump’s Bill Cutting Medicaid

Multiple Little Lobbyists families traveled to Washington, D.C., from across the country (Maggie and David traveled all the way from Alaska!) to deliver a simple message to their U.S. Senators:

DO NOT CUT A SINGLE DIME OFF #Medicaid!

Hakeem Jeffries: “Breaking News — Elon Musk and I agree with each other. The GOP tax scam is a disgusting abomination. Every single Republican who voted for the One Big Ugly Bill should be ashamed of themselves.”

Sneaking harm to Americans via 1 am hearings…

I don't want this to get lost: after RFK Jr. finished with his tantrum, he ADMITTED he is blocking BILLIONS in federal child care funding.

That needs to change IMMEDIATELY.

The fight to #ProtectMedicaid is a winnable fight—we know this because we won in 2017 and because most polls show that the overwhelming majority of Americans oppose cuts to #Medicaid. However, to win in 2025, Elena Hung, breaks down the tools we'll need to use in the days ahead.

Using xenophobia to distract the American people from their planned cuts to #Medicaid is a sick and disgusting tactic.

Here’s one of MILLIONS of reasons to SAVE Medicaid. Cole.

Trump's first hundred days are threatening medical research; critical programs children and families rely upon for survival; and continued access to medical supplies, equipment, and medications.

State Senator Mallory McMorrow: They're running on all of these ideas with the supposed mandate that they think they had to give billionaires another tax break so they can slash Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security and spike the price of strollers and shoes and clothes.

Allison is a @littlelobbyists.bsky.social mom from Utah. Her son Ethan loves Minecraft, spiders, and his friends! He’s autistic and loves to hike - his longest is 11 miles. He is alive because of Medicaid. #ProtectMedicaid

Not One Generation Removed, Disability Advocates Fear Return to a Dark Era Three families share what it took to win the right for special ed students to learn with nondisabled kids — and what’s at risk under Trump & RFK Jr.

Our own Little Lobbyist Ethan and his mom Ali are featured, among two adult disability rights leaders on their experiences as young students. It’s a really well done and timely piece on disability rights in education—where we’ve been, what is possible, and what is at serious risk today.

We cover how attacks on immigrants are attacks on our children, who are facing undue adversity with dehumanizing policy and rhetoric out of the Trump White House.

We joined @booker.senate.gov and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social during their vigil today to talk about how Medicaid keeps disabled kids from being sent away to institutions, letting them stay at home with their families instead

Here's @elenahung.bsky.social introducing Little Lobbyists (1.4x)

We value your support and sharing of Little Lobbyists (tagged or not tagged). 💙

Sen Booker & Rep Jeffries are still drawing We, the People to the Capitol Steps. Rep Jeffries called on the spirit of John Lewis & made it clear: Good Trouble lives on in heroes like Cole.
These kids are fierce.
Their fight is righteous.
This is the kind of trouble that saves lives.

**These are not normal times, and it is up to us to ensure that this is not normalized.**

We are livid and deeply heartbroken by the actions taken by this administration in detaining and deporting a U.S. citizen child who is battling cancer. This is a clear miscarriage of justice, a profound moral failure, and a cruel betrayal of the values America claims to stand for. ~ Little Lobbyists
