Last week, every single House Republican voted to cut Medicaid in this country.
These budgets are not just fights about numbers.
They are fights over our values as a country.
Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security were promises that we as a people have made to each other about the kind of society we want to live in.
I don’t know about you, but I want to live in an America that guarantees healthcare to every person.
I want to live in an America that has a living wage for every person.
I want to live in an America where you have free speech to express yourself without getting put on a list or deported.
These promises that we made, they are not promises from politicians to the people, or charity from billionaires to everyday Americans — they are promises we have made to each other.
Neighbor to neighbor. Friend to friend. Teacher to student.
That we want to live in a society that is not depraved, not every person for themselves, but all of us standing together.
To me, the strength of our country is not only measured by the height of our best days.
The strength of our nation is in who is there for you, and what happens, on your worst day.
Our movement for real progress will have to push harder than ever these next four years if we are to prevent the country from becoming a slush fund for Donald Trump and Elon Musk.
Help us continue the fight by making a grassroots donation today.
In solidarity,
Alexandria
