Protect Our Social Safety Nets
KNOW THE ISSUES
The backbone of American society isn't wealth — it's us: the people. Regardless of one's race or ethnicity, programs like Social Security, Medicare/Medicaid, SNAP, and Veterans benefits provide a lifeline to millions of Americans, ensuring that those who have sacrificed and contributed so much to our nation receive the support they deserve. As Congress and the administration are considering drastic cuts to vital programs, and we must act swiftly to stop it. Government funding should not hurt the elderly, veterans, or those benefitting from Social Security. Cutting these essential lifelines to fund yet another billionaire tax break is unacceptable.
Our seniors deserve peace of mind—not cuts. Thousands of Arizona retirees rely on Social Security to stay afloat. After a lifetime of work, they shouldn’t face financial hardship.
Our veterans kept their promise—we must keep ours. Southern Arizona, home to Fort Huachuca and many who served, must protect veterans’ benefits—not take them away.
Government should serve people—not just the wealthy. Cutting essential programs while protecting tax breaks for the rich hurts working families and small businesses across Cochise County.
Congress must protect our communities. Arizona is strongest when we support those who’ve served, helped build our neighborhoods, and deserve to live with dignity.
Since pandemic protections ended, over 14 million people have lost Medicaid coverage—including families right here in Southern Arizona.
• More than 25 million nationwide have been dropped.
• Over 5 million children are affected.
• Most lost coverage due to paperwork issues—not ineligibility.
Black, Latino, and Native families are being hit the hardest—often twice as likely to lose coverage, even when they still qualify.
In Cochise County and beyond, seniors, veterans, kids, and working families depend on Medicaid for doctor visits, prescriptions, and peace of mind. Many don’t even know they’ve been dropped—until it’s too late.​
TAKE ACTION
Protect What Matters Most to Our Community
The strength of Southern Arizona—and our country—comes from our people, not the ultra-wealthy.
Programs like Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, SNAP, and Veterans’ benefits help seniors, veterans, families, and neighbors in need live with dignity. These are lifelines for many right here in Cochise County.
But right now, Congress is considering cuts to these critical programs—while protecting tax breaks for billionaires and big corporations.
​
Call, email, and write letters to our elected officials today.
Tell them: No cuts to Social Security, Medicare, Veterans’ benefits, or other vital programs. Speak up before government funding runs out.
