Two Americas: Slashing Support vs. Building Belonging
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.
Join us as we contrast these vastly different visions of the future—one that dismantles support, and another that invests in inclusion, dignity, and accessibility.
