    Join this webinar for an update on what's happening with Medicaid at the federal level and what it could mean for New Hampshire residents.

With over 187,000 New Hampshire residents relying on Medicaid for their health care coverage, it's important to understand these developments and what they could mean for our communities.   You'll hear directly from health care policy experts who will break down the details:

    They'll provide an update on the vote, how these potential changes could affect New Hampshire residents, and what comes next in the federal budget process.

Indivisible, the primary organizers but with dozens of other groups as co-sponsors, describes it this way: "NO KINGS is a national day of action and mass mobilization in response to increasing authoritarian excesses and corruption from [the current administration]. We’ve watched as they’ve cracked down on free speech, detained people for their political views, threatened to deport American citizens, and defied the courts. They’ve done this all while continuing to serve and enrich their billionaire allies. On Saturday, June 14, we’re taking to the streets nationwide."  --- League of Women Voters is a not a sponsor, but our members are encouraged to to express their belief in the checks and balances system of federal government, due process, and respect for the constitution. ---  We will post specific events as we become aware of them.
