John,

Donald Trump has been in office for just 24 hours and his assault on vulnerable communities and American democracy has already begun.

In his first day in office, Trump began his attacks on immigrant families by proposing to roll back birthright citizenship in the 14th Amendment to the Constitution,¹ declaring false emergencies in order to massively expand executive power to restrict climate responses and immigration, and politicizing the federal workforce to benefit his cronies and wealthy billionaires.²

Thanks to you and our nationwide network of grassroots advocates, we’re ready for this moment and the fight ahead.

We will defend immigrant communities and families from attacks, including family separation and deportation.

We’re fighting back against $5 trillion in cuts to critical programs and services―from health care to nutrition to housing to education and more―which are meant to pay for even more tax cuts for the rich and corporations.³

We’re working to protect climate initiatives to save our planet and our communities from the devastating consequences of climate change.

We are fighting for people’s lives. Failure is not an option.

Rush a donation to power our work at this critical moment on behalf of all of our neighbors―immigrants, older Americans, children, people with disabilities, and working families.

If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your secure donation will go through immediately:

The attacks from the White House will be relentless. But we will not turn away.

Together, we will never stop fighting for vulnerable people and communities.

Thank you for being with us in this fight,

Deborah Weinstein
Executive Director, Coalition on Human Needs
