Save Medicaid Rally, Anaheim, Tuesday, April 22, 2025
Today, Tierra associates and staff attended the Save Medicaid rally in Anaheim. Joined by hundreds of advocates, providers, associates, families, and supporters, the message was clear, “Healthcare is a human right, that is why we have to fight!”
Tierra del Sol relies heavily on funding from Medicaid via California’s Regional Center Services to support adults with developmental disabilities. Regional Centers provide critical services to over 400,000 vulnerable citizens across the state, helping them live full, meaningful lives. For over 50 years, Tierra del Sol has championed the belief that people with disabilities have the right to live productive and personally meaningful lives through creative pathways to employment, education, and the arts. We rely on these funds to provide job coaching, volunteer support, life skills training, educational coaching, and access to full community engagement. As a result of Tierra’s person-centered programs and services, our associates are living more independent lives, earning paychecks, going to college and obtaining degrees, and becoming exhibiting artists locally, nationally, and even globally.
Cuts would directly reduce the number of staff we can retain, the reach of our services, and the individualized support our participants receive daily.
It’s not just about dollars, it’s about people losing opportunities to work, learn, create, and ultimately, contribute to their communities in ways that are transformative. Take action and let congress know this cannot happen. Every single voice matters!
