posted
The City of Madison, Department of Civil Rights is hosting a hybrid (virtual and in person) event: What We Could Lose: Medicaid and Other Programs For People with Disabilities on March 5, 2025, from 6:00 – 7:30 p.m. (CT).
This hybrid event is hosted in partnership with local organizations including Disability Pride Madison, UW Disability Cultural Center, and Access to Independence in response to calls from community members who want to learn more about potential cuts to these critical programs. It will serve as an opportunity for community members to gain valuable information, ask questions, and share about the importance of these services.
We encourage elected officials to attend so they can hear directly from constituents about their experiences with Medicaid and other federally funded programs that serve people with disabilities such as special education, vocational services, housing vouchers, and SNAP.
Speakers include:
- Eric Buehlmann, Director of Public Policy, National Disability Rights Network
- Tami Jackson, Public Policy Analyst and Legislative Liaison, Wisconsin Board for People with Developmental Disabilities
- Jason Beloungy, Executive Director, Access to Independence
- U.S. Senator Tammy Baldwin
