Protect Medicaid Vigil

Calling Up Justice Presents: An Accessible Vigil Space for the Protect Medicaid Vigil
July 23–26, 2025 | Digital Encampment on GatherTown

In solidarity with the 60-Hour Vigil for Medicaid, Calling Up Justice is hosting an accessible digital protest and gathering space inside our Digital Encampment on GatherTown. This online hub features a newly designed National Mall protest deck accessible directly from the orientation zone, offering multiple ways to participate virtually in this powerful action.

Why We Gather

This July marks the 60th anniversary of Medicaid and Medicare, the 35th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act, and Disability Pride Month—but instead of celebrating expanded care, we are mourning devastating cuts. Congress has slashed nearly a trillion dollars from Medicaid to fund tax breaks for corporations and the wealthy. These programs are not budget lines—they are lifelines. We are coming together to demand justice and accountability.
What’s Inside Our Virtual Vigil Space

  • A link hub for live streams, action steps, and story sharing
  • Access to the All Hands Rooftop Protest Deck
  • A cozy, interactive way to engage while centering access and care
