Day of Action June 22nd! Contact Your U.S. Senators Today to Protect Children's Coverage!

Louisville, CO
The Colorado Rocky Mountain Chapter of NAPNAP

It is critically important for NAPNAP members to contact their Senators now to express concerns about how efforts to cut Medicaid and cap federal funding would inevitably harm children's health care coverage!  Senators need to hear from NPs in their states about what is at stake for children and young adults.  As a child health expert, you can offer yourself as a trustworthy resource to your elected officials as they navigate the child health coverage landscape. It only takes a few minutes to submit your e-communciation through our Advocacy Center, https://www.napnap.org/advocacy-center
   
NAPNAP is also joining with the AAP and other children's health organizations in a Day of Action this Thursday, June 22, to urge Senators to protect children's health care coverage and reject any proposals to cap Medicaid funding. NAPNAP members can joint these efforts on social media by using #KeepKidsCovered and #DontCapMyCare. In addition to calling your Senators to urge them to oppose Medicaid caps, please also share your messages with your Senators on social media June 22 - Twitter handles for all U.S. Senators can be found at: https://twitter.com/cspan/lists/senators/members.

***In addition, CO NAPNAP is looking for a few great members to be our chapter Legislative representative for NAPNAP, it involves listening into monthly conference calls and reporting about legislative issues at our chapter meetings every other month. If you are interested please contact amy.goodier@childrenscoloraro.org
