The Medicaid program touches millions of lives, but its vitality is at risk.

Please consider taking action on this alert from the ELCA’s social ministry partner, Lutheran Services in America (LSA), on the vitality of Medicaid. The LSA network reaches one in 50 people in America each year, and it brings the collective power of its national network and strategic partners together in new ways to advance innovation and achieve a healthier, more equitable future for all people in America.

The Medicaid program touches millions of lives through healthcare, housing, disability services and care for children, families and seniors. The LSA Advocacy Alert facilitates your voice reaching lawmakers to urge protection of Medicaid and opposition to cuts and caps. It reads, "Based on recent statements and policy agendas from new Congressional Majority leaders who now control both the House and the Senate with the start of the new Congress, it is clear that they are seeking deep cuts to Medicaid and other domestic programs."

As people of faith committed to serving our neighbors in need, we have an important opportunity to advocate for crucial social services.
