Planned GivingLove Thy Neighbor Campaign for Medicaid Expansion
We NEED your help! In a huge win for health equity in North Carolina, House Bill 76—which expands Medicaid to over 600,000 of our neighbors—passed the N.C. House for the first time ever on February 16, 2023. But the N.C. Senate still needs to be convinced to support the bill. Help us keep the spotlight on the need for Medicaid expansion in North Carolina by participating in the following activities hosted by the NCJC Health Advocacy Project and its partners.
Write Letters to the Editor
Send letters to the editor (250 words or less) at local newspapers across the state. Use this toolkit to craft your letter to the editor.
Call Your Senator
Call your N.C. Senator and ask them to support and pass House Bill 76. To reach your Senator, enter your location here or text NCMEDEX to 747464 (you will get a reply asking for your ZIP code; when you reply with your ZIP, you will receive a call that connects you to your Senator).
