Call Script for Contacting Lawmakers
“Hello, my name is [Your Name], and I am a resident of [City, NJ]. I’m calling to urge [Senator/Representative’s Name] to oppose any Medicaid cuts. Medicaid helps 1.8 million NJ residents, including children, seniors, and people with disabilities. Cuts to Medicaid would be devastating for our communities. Please commit to protecting Medicaid funding. Thank you.”
