Trump is slashing resources for working-class and everyday people—meanwhile, his billionaire friends keep getting richer.

Republicans just voted to get rid of essential funding for Medicaid, SNAP, and Head Start programs. Sign the petition and tell Donald Trump and Speaker Mike Johnson: NO MORE CUTS!

Dear MoveOn member, 

Yesterday, Republicans in the House of Representatives voted to advance a budget resolution that would take away TRILLIONS of dollars of support and assistance from everyday people.1 The proposal would enact $2.5 trillion in cuts to vital public programs many of their own constituents depend on, including Medicaid, food assistance, and education to help fund their massive tax giveaway for the ultra-wealthy and big corporations.2

Sign the petition right now to fight back against Trump's agenda.

If you still need to know more, here's a short list of the impact of cuts happening to pay for Trump’s latest Tax Scam: 

Children and families across the country could suffer, with the future of school breakfast programs; food benefits like the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC); child care block grants; and housing vouchers in jeopardy.7

Sign the petition to fight back against Trump and Speaker Mike Johnson's cruel efforts to strip away the health care, food, and education assistance from everyday people, just to give tax cuts to their wealthy billionaire friends and corporations.

We cannot allow MAGA Republicans to continue to take advantage of everyday people and decimate social safety nets like this. Add your name to say NO cuts to Medicaid, SNAP, and Social Security that our communities need!

Trump, Elon Musk, and their wealthy friends won't be impacted by slashes to federal aid. This is just another political stunt to them, under the guise of "cleaning up the government." But for everyday people, the impact of these cuts will be devastating. 

These federal programs are our tax dollars at work. We paid for this, and these programs are ours. Trump and Johnson have no business slashing funding and putting our communities, jobs, and health at risk. Add your name to the petition NOW!

Let's be clear: Millions of Americans rely on these programs, and we all benefit when our schools are funded, roads are maintained, and communities cared for. We will not allow our neighbors and our communities to fall through the cracks created by this administration. We are ready to fight back. 

Click here to demand NO freezes or cuts to federal aid—temporary or permanent—and send to three friends to help spread the word.

Thanks for all you do. 

–Nakia, Kelly, Mona, Aliya, and the rest of the team

P.S. No matter who you are or where you live, your elected officials NEED to hear from you NOW. After you sign the petition, send a letter to your member of Congress to fight back for the safety of all of our communities and families.
