Lawmakers are calling it “big and beautiful.” We call it what it really is: The Dirty Diaper Bill—and it’s making its way through Congress. If passed, it would launch a full-scale attack on Medicaid, with devastating consequences.


🔹 Who’s at risk?

  • Older adults

  • People with disabilities

  • Caregivers and families

  • Hospitals, nursing homes, and long-term care facilities

  • The future of healthcare in America 


🔹 What's at stake?

  • Massive staff cuts in nursing homes, leaving residents in soiled diapers for hours

  • Closure of hospitals and care facilities

  • Increased suffering and preventable deaths

  • Loss of essential services for millions

  • A weakened safety net just when we need it most


🔹 Why this matters:

This bill isn’t just cruel—it’s unnecessary. It threatens the very fabric of care that holds our communities together.


✊ The Gray Panthers have always fought for intergenerational justice and truth-telling in the face of power. This is one of those moments.


🔗 Sign the petition to stop the Dirty Diaper Bill and defend the dignity and health of all generations.
