John, Since Inauguration Day, Food & Water Watch supporters like YOU have sent almost 23,000 messages to representatives demanding they vote against Trump’s dangerous budget plan. This plan would slash water, food, and health funding while preserving massive handouts ($4.5 trillion in tax cuts!) to corporations and billionaires. As the House moves forward with finalizing key details of the budget bill in committees in the coming weeks, we’re fighting dangerous cuts that jeopardize millions of people's access to safe food and water — and the pressure is working! Take action today: Urge your members of Congress to block dangerous budget cuts!

Our messages, calls, and rallies on this issue are making a difference! Last week, thanks to Food & Water Watch members and many other activists, the House excluded school meals from the list of budget cuts — at least for now. This is an encouraging win for people power, but the budget process is far from over. That’s why we’re continuing to oppose the budget bill and fight any new attempts to cut the school lunch program, food assistance, and other essential programs. House committees are continuing to negotiate specifics, and the details of these massive cuts will be compiled into a budget bill that will go back to the floor for another vote. We still have a chance to stop this extreme agenda from becoming law! Here’s what’s on the line: >> Cuts to food assistance >> Cuts to local financing for safe and clean water >> Cuts to Medicaid

With a slim majority in Congress, we need just a handful of Republicans to do the right thing and oppose these cuts. And Democrats need to be speaking up and doing everything they can to block this agenda. No matter who your Representative is, they need to hear from you! I hope you’ll join us in sending a message TODAY as the House committees are reviewing language over the NEXT TWO WEEKS. Tell Congress: Don’t defund safe food and clean water! Onward together,
