CFC in the News: Moms advocate for state funding to protect children at state budget hearing

Wisconsin parents, especially moms of children with disabilities, filled the hearing room pressing state lawmakers to prevent steep cuts to education, Medicaid and disability-support funding. One mother warned that a proposed 36% funding cut to a Medicaid program jeopardizes her adult daughter’s ability to live independently. Advocates urged the legislature to ensure reliable funding for public schools, special-education services, healthcare, and programs that support children’s well-being.
