Dear MoveOn member,
We won't mince words. Right now, there’s a serious threat looming in
Congress that will impact nearly all of us.
Republicans in the House passed a budget resolution that would propose
substantial cuts to federal programs that MILLIONS of Americans rely on,
especially some of our most vulnerable communities, like seniors,
veterans, children, people with disabilities and low-income families.^1
It's not hyperbole: Substantial cuts to these programs would put millions
of lives at risk and deepen the already significant struggles many people
are facing under Trump's economy.
That was the bad news. But the good news is, we have a small window of
opportunity to make it crystal clear how deeply opposed we the people are
to their plan to rip away health care and economic benefits from everyday
people, just so that their ultra-wealthy friends can get tax breaks. But
to do so, we need your help.

PT to call MoveOn members in key states and districts to urge their
representatives to fight any substantial cuts to Social Security and
Medicaid?
We cannot afford to turn our backs on people who rely on Medicaid for
health care or Social Security for retirement and disability. All people
deserve to live with dignity. These programs aren't just numbers on a
budget line—they are the lifelines for people across this country to live
another day.

Medicaid provides health care for tens of MILLIONS of Americans, including
children, seniors, and people with disabilities. Cuts to Medicaid would
strip away health care coverage from those who need it most, devastating
millions.^2 Social Security is the primary source of income for nearly 70
million retirees and people with disabilities.^3 Republicans need to
answer for the vote they made to signal these cuts were okay, and hear
from all of us that we will not accept cuts to Social Security or
Medicaid.
[ [link removed] ]Join a phonebank TOMORROW at 6-8 p.m. ET/3-5 p.m. PST to talk to
like-minded MoveOn members and urge them to call their representative and
fight for Medicaid and Social Security.
All of us deserve security, investment, and care. We cannot let
politicians make decisions behind closed doors that will hurt our families
and communities. [ [link removed] ]Join the phonebank tomorrow night—and feel solidarity
with dozens of other people looking to make a difference in this fight to
safeguard our communities.
Thanks for all you do.
