John,

Congress is home for Thanksgiving, but as soon as they return to Washington, D.C. next week, they must act and make critical investments in our communities, or vulnerable people will suffer this winter.

While we’re demanding immediate investments in nutrition, child care, and home heating assistance, we’re also fighting back against a small group of right-wing extremists who want to force harsh policies that criminalize immigrants and other vulnerable people.

Support our fight for investments in critical human needs programs, and fight back against attacks on low-income and vulnerable communities with a donation of $5 today.

If Congress doesn’t act, up to 600,000 women, infants, and children could lose out on essential nutrition during critical developmental stages; 3.2 million children could lose child care; and up to 1.5 million households could lose help paying for heat this winter.^1,2,3

And it’s not just funding shortages we’re fighting against.

Right-wing extremists want to continue the inhumane immigration policies of the previous administration and push for even more immigration policies that undermine asylum laws, attack civil rights and fair housing laws, undo significant progress on addressing climate change, and even stop research on gun violence prevention.

By packing these “poison pill riders” into must-pass bills, right-wing extremists have turned routine legislation into a nightmare.

Our coalition is standing strong against these attacks on vulnerable communities, but we need your support. Chip in $5 today to fund this critical work.

Thank you for all you do,
