Hi Friend,

The so-called “One Big, Beautiful Bill Act” (House Resolution 1), is slowly making its way through Congress after passing the House with a very narrow majority. Let’s be clear about one thing: in this iteration, this budget bill is not beautiful; it is nothing but harmful legislation which will impact upwards of 70 million Americans and only benefit the top 1%.

As it currently stands, this bill would result in the largest transfer of wealth and biggest giveaway to billionaires at the expense of everyday Americans. The bill is set to create the largest cuts in history to Medicaid, and cuts approximately $500 billion to Medicare over 2026-2034. The bill also ‘defunds’ Planned Parenthood by blocking Medicaid patients from seeking care at Planned Parenthood.

Cuts to Medicaid will also prohibit the coverage of transition-related healthcare for trans people of all ages (CHIP & Medicaid) AND restrict im/migrants’ access to essential health care.

But wait, there’s more.

This egregious bill will also place a ban on coverage for abortion care in the ACA insurance marketplace. SNAP is on the chopping block as well—30% in cuts and new work requirements that put vulnerable families at risk.

Young people deserve more than just surviving another recession and footing the bill—they deserve to thrive in a democracy that values their lives and futures. This budget bill does the opposite—and it fails us. The Senate can help protect all Americans.

Tell your Senator to fix this bill!
