A message from Erica Schwarz, our Executive Director, on attempts to slash the federal budget and how that could impact HCA’s mission:

Read the message from our March 2025 newsletter

We encourage you to contact your Congressperson and Senators to fight against these harmful federal cuts, which are being made as our federal government seeks to create or extend deep tax breaks for extremely wealthy tax payers. Income inequality in the US is already horrifically, inexcusably bad, and this would make it worse. This moves us in the opposite direction of the kind of equitable community HCA works to build.

Look up all of your elected officials here.
