The ACA has been the foundation that secures my ability to live out my pro-life ideals. It has protected my boy and allowed us to run full-tilt towards a life that we never even let ourselves hope for. #SaveTheACA

@SenMikeLee Or maybe, and hear me out here, you could do us all a favor and resign since you blatantly voted against your constituents on the big bad betrayal.

We are so thankful to all of the Little Lobbyists families who traveled to Washington, D.C., to participate in the #ProtectMedicaid vigil and walk the halls of Congress alongside their medically complex children.

Here are some of a favorite 📸 from the past few days. More soon!

It really is that simple.

10-year-old June Rice has a rare disease that impacts almost all of her organ systems. Her family relies on Medicaid to help cover her treatments.

Her mother, Courtney Demmitt-Rice, joins @AnaCabrera to explain how Medicaid cuts could impact her family.

@princess_kim_k IDK, maybe we let Charlotte have a turn?

When Ethan's family needed a financial miracle, Medicaid came through for them.

Today, let's stand up for the millions of families in America like Ethan's, who deserve compassion and care, not cruelty!

@NickKnudsenUS Superhero Charlotte is a POWERFUL advocate for her sister and other disabled kids like her! #SaveMedicaidSaveFamilies

[Alison Chandra @aliranger29]

@BryanDawsonUSA I know this is the dark humor we’re all using to cope with all of it, but in all sincerity? Over my dead body. I’d jump in front of a train for this kid.

[Alison Chandra @aliranger29]

I love this kid more than I can say, and I will do everything in my power to make sure I still get to be her nurse.

Her care is not “optional.” Her life is not a burden. She is a joy and is infinitely worth fighting for.

What happens to kids like June after Republicans cut their Medicaid?

“Her ileostomy bag needs to be emptied..her intestine..inspected. Her body..repositioned in her wheelchair..saliva..suctioned from her mouth..her food..administered through a..tube”

[Alison Chandra @aliranger29]

@greenboat @axidentaliberal I’m assuming from your comment that you’re unaware that home based nursing is considered “optional” and will be the first thing cut when states have to balance their budgets? Yes, even for disabled kids like June.

[Alison Chandra @aliranger29]

@cowboylikejul Jokes on you, I’m crying and throwing up AND staring at my phone all at the same time.

[Alison Chandra @aliranger29]

My kids went to bed thinking they’d wake up in a country led by a woman who genuinely cared about their future. I have to go wake them up and tell them that 70 million people voted for the guy that wants them dead. I don’t know how to do that.

[Elena Hung (she/her) @ElenaHung202]

7 years ago, my daughter Xiomara and I joined @KamalaHarris to defend the #ACA and save #Medicaid for disabled kids everywhere. Did the same when she was @VP and we'll do it again when she's #MadamPresident.

[Alison Chandra @aliranger29]

When you head to the polls today, do it knowing that you’re deciding what kind of country our kids will grow up in. Do you want it to be a place of radical inclusion? A place where everyone’s lives are seen as precious and valuable? #VoteKamala

[Alison Chandra @aliranger29]

For the past 7 years, I’ve been speaking up about why access to healthcare is critical for kids like mine. #VoteKamala

[Alison Chandra @aliranger29]

There’s only one candidate in this election who has promised to protect and expand access to the kind of care I provide and that so many people rely on. #VoteKamala

[Little Lobbyists @LittleLobbyists]

On our blog: More and more, parents of disabled children are realizing that they, too, have a disability, and proudly join the disability community themselves! Read Alison's story!
