John,
The legendary character Robin Hood stole from the rich to give to the poor. So, let’s call Donald Trump’s latest budget the anti-Robin Hood budget.
The Trump administration seeks to cut $4.4 trillion from critical programs for seniors, people with disabilities and low-income families to pay for an extension of the tax breaks for the wealthy.
Read Frank’s email below and then write to your members of Congress demanding they reject Donald Trump’s budget, which is an attack on U.S. families.
If passed, Trump’s budget would cut: Medicaid, Social Security disability benefits, nutrition assistance, education, environmental protection, disease prevention, affordable housing and more.
Fight back! Write to your members of Congress today!
Thank you for fighting for a tax system and an economy that works for all of us, not just the wealthy few.

John,
When you write your family’s budget, what do you prioritize? Food, housing, healthcare?
Donald Trump’s new budget released last week attacks those essential needs for seniors, people with disabilities and low-income families to pay for a tax scam for the rich that would expand from $1.9 trillion to $3.1 trillion.
We’re partnering with allies across the country to fight back against the Trump administration’s attacks on U.S. families. Together, let’s demand Congress reject a budget that steals from the poor and gives to the rich. Click here to write to your members of Congress today!
To pay for his tax breaks, which mostly benefit the wealthy and big corporations, Trump proposes $4.4 trillion in cuts to critical services, including:
-
$1 trillion in cuts to Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act
-
$180 billion in cuts to food and nutrition assistance and $1.7 billion in cuts to school meals for low-income children
-
$170 billion in cuts to student loan programs
-
$75 billion in cuts to Social Security disability programs
-
And more including cuts to the EPA and housing for low-income families! [1]
Write to your members of Congress today and tell them to reject Trump’s budget, which is an attack on seniors, people with disabilities and low-income families.
We cannot allow Trump to double-down on his tax scam for the rich on the backs of the most vulnerable.
Thank you,
