They didn’t just vote to gut programs.

They voted to gut women’s lives.

Last week, House Republicans passed a bill in the dark of night that slashes billions in spending on Medicaid, SNAP (food assistance), child care, home energy assistance, and disability support, impacting tens of millions of working-class families. And, according to an analysis by the Congressional Budget Office, millions more will lose their health insurance through changes to the Affordable Care Act (ACA) marketplace.

The proposed cuts will impact millions, including workers who depend on food assistance to feed their families. But it will hit especially hard poor women and their children, and elderly women.

This is not just cruel. It's calculated.

And for what? So that Republicans can offset the huge tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans by massive cuts to these vital programs.

We have one month to stop these devastating cuts. We need you, Kathy and every member of the Feminist Majority community to stand with us.

That's why we are urging you to write to your Senators – to both Republicans and to Democrats. They need to hear from you – starting this week.

We’ll keep you updated with how you can help fight back as the Senate returns next week from its recess and begins work on the tax bill.

This is our line in the sand.  Join us.

In fury and in action,

P.S. Please help us spread the word by forwarding this email to your networks of friends and family. It’s going to take all of us to stop the most damaging aspects of the Republican tax bill.
