📢Budget Sunday Approaches: Make A Difference Now📢
Budget Sunday: Why It Matters?
Budget Sunday is one of the most critical moments of the legislative session, where lawmakers decide how funding will be allocated for the upcoming year. These decisions impact essential sectors like healthcare, education, housing, and infrastructure. It’s a pivotal opportunity for community members, advocates, and organizations to come together and ensure legislators prioritize investments that address the needs of vulnerable populations and promote equity.
This is more than just a day for decisions—it’s a chance to raise your voice, advocate for change, and influence policies that directly affect the lives of individuals and families. By showing up, you’re ensuring that your community’s needs are heard and that resources are allocated to improve health outcomes, reduce disparities, and create sustainable solutions for underserved areas.
If any of these questions resonate with you, your participation is vital:
Are you a community member impacted by barriers that make it difficult to navigate the healthcare system, maintain your wellness, and/or your livelihood?
Do you want your community to have greater access to supportive services, including access to Community Health Workers (CHWs)?
Do you employ CHWs and want a sustainable, reimbursable mechanism for services and programs you provide to vulnerable populations?
Are you a policymaker curious about Medicaid’s role in providing services to underserved communities and the impact CHWs have in states where Medicaid funding supports these efforts?
