Two Americas: Slashing vs. Building Belonging 3p3e47

  In this powerful episode of The Shining Beautiful Series, we unpack the devastating implications of the federal HB-1 bill—an aggressive piece of legislation that slashes Medicaid funding and threatens the stability of home- and community-based services for people with disabilities. While Washington proposes deep cuts, Colorado offers a different path forward. We highlight three landmark bills soon to be signed by Governor Jared Polis: HB25-1239 expanding the Colorado Anti-Discrimination Act, HB25-1017 establishing a strong Community Integration Plan, and HB25-1154 launching a new Communication Services Enterprise for people with disabilities. us as we contrast these vastly different visions of the future—one that dismantles , and another that invests in inclusion, dignity, and accessibility.   4h5d5i
