Right now, Congress is moving to vote on a budget reconciliation package that would slash funds for vital services across the country—programs like SNAP, Medicaid, and student loan relief—and spend billions more dollars to detain and disappear community members on a massive scale. John, Congress needs to hear from YOU. Can you take action to defend our communities and protect critical community funding? Tell your members of Congress to reject this harmful budget and invest in our communities instead! The Senate will vote soon on a budget resolution that would put hundreds of billions of dollars toward detaining and deporting immigrants while crippling vital health, education, and nutrition programs for families and communities throughout the country. Some in Congress are trying to line the pockets of private prison CEOs and are giving the Trump administration a blank check to further militarize immigration enforcement in our neighborhoods — all while slashing programs that our communities depend on. |

Thank you for speaking out to protect our communities! Sincerely,
