🚨 𝐌𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐢𝐝 𝐂𝐮𝐭𝐬 𝐏𝐮𝐭 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐭 𝐑𝐢𝐬𝐤 🚨

Congress just passed a bill that makes nearly $1 trillion in cuts to Medicaid over the next 10 years. These cuts threaten the services that people with disabilities in Massachusetts and Connecticut rely on every day—like home care, job coaching, and community supports.

Without these services, individuals risk losing their independence, and families could be forced into crisis. We cannot let this happen.

📢 Read our full blog to learn more about what’s changing, how it affects our community, and what you can do to take action: 👉 https://www.nebaworks.com/highlights/medicaid-cuts-could-take-away-services-people-with-disabilities-depend-on

At neba, we believe every person deserves the right to live, work, and thrive in their community. These cuts threaten that right—so now is the time to speak up.

🌟 July is Disability Pride Month 🌟

At neba, we believe disability is diversity—and that’s something to be proud of. Disability Pride Month celebrates the strength, culture, and contributions of people with disabilities, while continuing the push for equity and inclusion.

It’s more than awareness—it’s about identity, visibility, and community.

Learn more about the history of this month, the meaning behind the Disability Pride Flag, and how neba empowers individuals with disabilities and other barriers to employment every day.

📚 The YWCA of Western Massachusetts is collecting new backpacks and school supplies to help children in their programs start the school year strong — and neba is proud to help spread the word.

At neba, we believe that building a more inclusive community starts with equal access to opportunity — in school, in work, and in life. Supporting students from the very beginning is one way we can all make a difference.

🖍️🎒 Donations can be dropped off at:
YWCA of Western Massachusetts
One Clough Street, Springfield, MA 01118

Let’s work together to make sure every child heads into the school year with the tools they need to succeed.

The new school year will be here before we know it.

Please help the children in our programs plan for the upcoming school year.

We need new backpacks and school supplies.

All donations can be brought to the YWCA of Western Massachusetts, One Clough Street, Springfield, MA 01118.
