Breaking news out of Congress, John: the House committee that oversees health care spending just announced that next week they will be voting on a Republican budget plan that would slash hundreds of billions from Medicaid and other essential programs — all to fund more tax breaks for billionaires like Trump and Musk.
If it passes, these cuts, affecting millions of Americans, could reach the full House floor for a vote as early as the following week.
Before these lawmakers cast their votes, we need to flood their offices with public pressure. RSVP now to join a virtual phone bank on Monday, May 12th, from 2:00 to 4:00 PM ET. You’ll be calling voters in key Republican districts to help them tell their representatives: vote NO on these devastating cuts.

This would be the biggest attack on health care in U.S. history, John. We’re talking about ripping care away from:
- Half of all kids in this country2
- Nearly half of all births in the country3
- Over 60% of nursing home residents4
- Millions of people with disabilities5
- Working adults with no job-based insurance6
- Families hanging on by a thread
These aren’t numbers on a spreadsheet. These are our neighbors, our elders, our kids — and the GOP is choosing billionaire donors over their lives.
But here’s the thing: the majority of Americans — including most Republican voters — oppose these cuts.7 And the GOP knows it.
They’re vulnerable. For weeks, GOP town halls have been flooded with angry constituents. Massive protests are propping up across the country. Voters are waking up to the fact that Republicans in Congress are looting this country in broad daylight.
If we turn up the pressure now, we can force some of them to break ranks and vote NO.
Join a virtual phone bank on Monday, May 12th from 2:00 to 4:00 PM. Call voters in Republican districts so they can flood their reps with calls and remind them: vote for these cuts, and you will lose your seat.
All you need is a phone, a laptop, and the determination to fight back.

We’ve seen it before, John: when enough people speak out, Republicans cave. Let’s make sure they hear from their constituents loud and clear.
In solidarity,
Working Families Party
