John,

The United States is at a critical moment as the nation faces pressing issues that demand transformative solutions. Healthcare, income inequality, and crumbling infrastructure are just some of the challenges that need immediate action from Congress.

With President Joe Biden's 2024 budget proposal taking a bold step toward creating a more equitable economic system, we have a great chance to address the needs of vulnerable communities, families, and children all by increasing taxes on the wealthy and corporations and investing in crucial programs that put human needs first.

Some of the key provisions of Biden’s budget include:

• Extending the Medicare Trust Fund and providing health coverage for uninsured poor adults, ensuring that healthcare is accessible and affordable for all.

• Expanding affordable childcare and preschool programs, enabling families to balance work and caregiving responsibilities while promoting early childhood development.

• Increasing affordable housing, addressing the nationwide housing crisis, and providing stability for low-income families.

• Protecting SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) benefits, ensuring food security for millions of Americans.

• Establishing paid family, medical, and sick leave, supporting workers during times of personal or family health challenges.

• Restoring the Child Tax Credit and Earned Income Tax Credit, providing much-needed financial relief for low-income families.

Let’s take on the right-wing extremists working to keep this budget from becoming a reality. Send a direct message to Congress urging them to pass President Biden’s FY 2024 budget.

Not only can Congress pass every provision in Biden’s budget, they can do so while reducing the federal deficit by $3 trillion over the next decade.

Through measures like the Billionaire Minimum Income Tax, increased stock buyback tax, equalizing investment income tax rates, and raising the corporate tax rate, this budget invests in America's future while creating a more equitable society.

Congress must pass President Biden's budget proposal and avoid cutting critical programs for working and low-income people. By investing in these human needs programs, Congress can address systemic inequities and create opportunities for all Americans to thrive.

These investments not only improve individual lives, but also strengthen communities, build the real economy, and promote social cohesion.

If right-wing extremists successfully cut critical programs, we risk exacerbating existing inequalities, leaving the most vulnerable behind. We must prioritize all communities’ well-being, ensuring everyone has access to the resources and support they need to succeed.

Make your voice heard and contribute to building a more prosperous America. Demand that Congress pass President Biden's 2024 budget proposal.

Together, we can ensure that our lawmakers hear our collective voices and take the necessary steps to address the challenges we face today, building a brighter future for all.
