Friend — It’s only been eight days, and Trump’s administration just defied the Constitution to unilaterally freeze every federally-funded program nationwide.

This Executive Order is so broad that ALL programs supported by the federal government are at risk, immediately harming families and communities. Clean air and drinking water programs, support for the manufacturing boom happening around the country, Medicaid and health care for veterans, as well as fundamental federal assistance programs like SNAP and WIC, low-income home energy program (LIHEAP), and climate-related disaster aid are all affected.

We’re scared, Friend, but we’re also angry. Now is the time to act. Tell Congress to do everything they can to fight back — vital programs that help people every day in every state are being blocked, and the consequences to their constituents will be devastating. Here’s how you can reach them:

• Text FIGHT to 877-877 to call your member of Congress; OR
• Email your member of Congress by clicking here.

When our elected members of Congress decide how to use taxpayer money, the job of the executive branch is to follow through. Period. This dangerously broad overreach by the Trump administration, directed by Project 2025, is part of Trump’s extreme power grab meant to instill chaos, and it will cause very real harm to people in every state.

This is one of those moments to speak out, Friend. If Trump and his extremist allies go unchallenged in this fight, they will further consolidate power and put even more lives at risk. Tell Congress to stop them.

Will you fight alongside us?

Onward,
