On June 13, Westchester Disabled On the Move was proud to sponsor an important program with Nonprofit Westchester Navigating Uncertainty: Strategies for Nonprofit Resilience Amid the Current Federal Landscape. The program at the Westchester Library System on Taxter Road in Elmsford brought together non profits from all sectors to share information and strategies on how to cope with proposed federal budget changes that could leave millions without essential services/critical services.
“We sponsored this program because our constituency – people with disabilities, seniors, and those who rely on safety net programs to survive – will be disproportionately affected by these cuts, we must raise our voices and fight for a more just outcome.”
Nearly $1 trillion in cuts to Medicaid and food stamps were approved as part of the President’s sweeping federal budget proposal. As a result, millions of Americans will lose benefits. They include children, people with disabilities, and senior citizens.
