John,
The House just passed the GOP budget resolution, and it’s a disaster for working families. On a party-line vote, House Republicans greenlit a legislative roadmap to gut Medicaid, slash food assistance, and funnel trillions in new tax cuts to the ultra-rich and powerful corporations.
This isn't just a theoretical vote. It’s the opening act in a war against workers and families all across America. The committees are already drafting the bills that will target vital services that tens of millions rely on, services like Medicaid, which covers 1 in 5 Americans, and SNAP, which keeps over 40 million people from going hungry.
What’s fueling this assault? A $5 trillion tax scam that overwhelmingly benefits billionaires and big corporations. Congressional Republicans claim their budget is about "fiscal responsibility," but we know the truth: it’s about shifting even more wealth upward while working families face rising costs and shrinking support. It’s a betrayal of every American who works hard and plays by the rules.
While billionaires hoard more and more wealth, working Americans are being asked to sacrifice basic needs. This resolution sets the stage for a budget built on cruelty and corruption, and we’re fighting it with everything we’ve got.
Rush a donation right now to help us stop this billionaire budget before it becomes law.
The economic pain in this country is real. Families are already worried about the cost of groceries, housing, and healthcare. Now the GOP wants to make it worse by gutting the programs that keep people afloat, all while handing more money to billionaires who’ve rigged the system in their favor.
Make no mistake: tax cuts for billionaires won’t fix the economy. They will make it worse. They will drive inequality, deepen public disinvestment, and leave our communities less secure. The only winners here are the mega-donors and corporate lobbyists who’ve bought the loyalty and the votes of too many members of Congress.
We can’t let Congress off the hook. We’re organizing to hold them accountable for their votes and make sure their constituents know exactly who they’re really working for—the people.
But we can’t do it without your support. We need resources to mobilize quickly and forcefully in the face of this accelerating threat. Every dollar you give powers the resistance to this brutal, billionaire-backed budget.
Pitch in now and help us stop Congress from passing this billionaire budget.
