ACT NOW: Speak Out Now to Protect Medicaid, Education & Food AssistanceDear CPA Members,An action alert has just been released regarding the Senate's reconciliation bill. I ask you to take a few moments to complete this in order to oppose cuts to medicaid, higher education and food assistance. This may be your last chance to have your voices heard before this vote occurs in the next few days. Please click HERE and share this action alert with fellow mental health practitioners, students and anyone who is in support of our profession and the populations we work with. As the Senate begins voting, a flurry of amendments will likely be introduced over the weekend. Please stay tuned, as additional alerts may be released during this time to oppose or support amendments. Given the rapid rate at which things are moving, we have started an instagram account that will keep you abreast of any immediate action you can take to advocate. When action alerts are released, they will be linked in the bio of the instagram account immediately so that you are able to act quickly and make your voice heard. While I don't want to bombard you all, I do want people to have the opportunity in real time to be heard and speak up and make a difference! The instagram is Copsychassociation or you can access the page HERE. Thank you and as always please reach out with any questions!
Sincerely, Michelle Dawson, PsyD |
