One-Pager: US Department of Education

Learn why preserving the Department of Education is essential for protecting civil rights, ensuring equitable access, and maintaining accountability for students with disabilities. This one-pager outlines the dangers of dismantling ED and offers data-backed policy solutions.

One-Pager: Defend Medicaid

The Mary E. Switzer Memorial Building's entrance features a bas-relief sculpture above double doors, with a plaque designating it as a U.S. Department of Health and Human Services building.

This one-pager explains how proposed cuts to Medicaid would jeopardize healthcare, independence, and community living for millions of people with disabilities. It includes key facts, the impact of proposed policy changes, and a call to action to protect and strengthen Medicaid.

Defending SNAP Benefits

This one-pager explains changes to SNAP benefits, including the Able-Bodied Adults Without Dependents (ABAWD) work requirements and the 3-months-in-3-years limit. We offer risk assessments and advocacy recommendations to protect food security for individuals with disabilities who depend on this critical resource.

Protecting Home and Community Based Waiver Programs

Check out this one-pager for information discussing how the 2025 federal budget reconciliation law and reductions to Medicaid funding may cause severe cuts to essential programs (e.g., waiver-, in-home services), which are currently classified as optional services. Current facts are available on wait lists in Pennsylvania, and a link is provided to end the wait list campaign.
