John,

After advancing their goal of cutting funding to essential nutrition, housing, and anti-poverty programs, right-wing members of the House have a new target: making all of the Trump tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations permanent.

If Congress makes all expiring Trump tax cuts permanent, this would add $3.5 trillion to the national debt over the next decade.¹ This is the same national debt that Kevin McCarthy and his caucus cried crocodile tears over when demanding cuts and caps to critical programs.

We cannot allow extremists in Congress to continue to put the wants of the few above the needs of the many. People with the lowest-incomes and working class communities need a break. They deserve to have a government that works for them, not the wealthy and corporations.

Send a direct message to Congress and demand they REJECT any plans to make the Trump tax cuts permanent or to add corporate tax breaks to the forthcoming tax package.

With your support, we were able to limit some of the damage done in Speaker McCarthy’s debt ceiling bill, but it still inflicts serious harm on millions of people who rely on SNAP, TANF, and other social programs. Adding hundreds of billions in corporate tax breaks and making the Trump tax cuts permanent would compound that harm and result in more cuts to critical programs as an excuse to balance the federal budget.

We cannot allow Congress to continue to bow down to the wealthy and corporations at the expense of the most vulnerable in our society. As Martin Luther King, Jr. once said: “God never intended for one group of people to live in superfluous inordinate wealth, while others live in abject deadening poverty.”

Join us in contacting Congress, urging them to put people with the lowest-incomes first, not corporations and the ultra wealthy. Send a direct message today.

Thank you for all you do to support vulnerable communities,
