Families First Now Protest - July 26th

"This will harm everyone in our community."

That's what Adventist Health, our only hospital, told the Union Democrat about the cuts to Medicaid that Rep. Tom McClintock voted for in the Big Beautiful Bill

Jaquelyn Lugg, speaking for Adventist Health said, "We are deeply disappointed by the passage of this legislation. It will have a catastrophic impact on access to care not only for those covered by Medicaid, but all people, especially in rural communities like ours."

Join us on Saturday, July 26 for sign-waving at Courthouse Park to say: our families come first—not billionaires, not authoritarians, and not corrupt politicians.

From rural towns to major cities, Families First actions will bring people together to collectively demand an end to policies that harm children, seniors, and our families. We reject the Administration's actions that have gutted essential programs like Medicaid, FEMA, food stamps, school lunches, and more, all so a handful of billionaires can get tax giveaways.

We are coming together to say in unity: our families come first.

Bring hats, sunscreen, water, and signs!

A core principle behind all Families First events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values and to act lawfully at these events. Weapons of any kind, including those legally permitted, should not be brought to events.
