Family-led group advocating for our kids with complex medical needs and disabilities. Little Lobbyists Action Network is a 501(c)(4) org.
HAPPY NEW YEAR 🎉

A reminder that millions of Americans are starting 2026 facing steep increases in their health insurance costs BECAUSE Congressional "Republicans cut more than $1 trillion in federal health care and food assistance with Trump’s big tax and spending cuts bill."

'Dying because someone took your health care away is not natural,' says foster and adoptive parent Ryan Jolly, who's only able to be that open door because of #Medicaid, 'neither is living a costly life in isolation in a hospital bed,"

At least 2,300 times a day, disabled students are restrained or secluded in segregated classrooms—denied their right to appropriate education.

The KASS Act would require schools to provide supports, not isolation or restraint, to all children in schools receiving public funding!

Today, Little Lobbyists honors #AliceWong, a ferocious advocate for disability justice and disability culture-maker who died on November 14 at the age of 51. Alice was a larger-than-life figure in the disability community and a friend to Little Lobbyists

The IDEA is marking its 50th anniversary amidst significant challenges.

Students with disabilities face heightened risks as funding, services, and federal safeguards are threatened.

Additionally, reductions in federal staff responsible for these essential programs exacerbate the situation.

Fifty years ago, Congress passed IDEA to end the exclusion of disabled children from public schools. Today, that promise is under threat from inadequate funding and policy rollbacks.

IDEA is a civil rights law. Protect it. Fund it. Celebrate it.

Millions of medically complex children and families count on WIC and SNAP to keep their plates filled. If the shutdown continues through October, their benefits are at risk.

“I’m most worried about the funds running out for both WIC and SNAP,” says @littlelobbyists.com mom Jodi, who lives in Pennsylvania.

“I know it probably won't happen... but it might.... for our family, we heavily rely on these programs to help our family out.”

Premium Tax Credits make health care affordable for 20M+ people. If they expire, millions won’t be able to go to the doctor.

Join us in urging Congress to make health care tax credits permanent & repeal the health care cuts they passed earlier this year: commcat.io/467vrRn

RFK Jr. testifies today on dismantling the CDC

Remember: #RFKjr spreads #COVID conspiracies, rejects vaccines, says phones cause cancer, blames school shootings on meds, and pushes “wellness camps”

1,000+ HHS staff said it best: RFK Jr. puts Americans’ health at risk
