Friend,

This is URGENT: The Senate is voting this week on Republicans’ extreme, fiscally irresponsible and cruel budget reconciliation bill. We need you, friend, to speak out now and demand they reject this disastrous budget before it’s too late.

The Republican budget mandates billions of dollars in cuts to critical basic needs programs like nutrition and health care services — all to fund tax breaks for the wealthiest 1%. And I’m going to tell it to you straight: We will be hit HARD by these cuts.

⚠️ Millions of Americans are already struggling to buy groceries, afford rent and pay for child care, but with Congress’ drastic budget cuts, working-class families will suffer.

Now is the time for you to take action and DEMAND Congress reject this dangerous budget.

Republicans’ backwards budget reconciliation bill will lead to nearly 16 million people losing lifesaving health care coverage — the largest loss in history — because of cuts, unnecessary red tape and harsh restrictions to Medicaid and Affordable Care Act (ACA) credits. The cuts to Medicaid, Medicare, and ACA could result in over 51,000 preventable deaths.

The cuts also jeopardize the future of SNAP funding — a lifeline for 40 million Americans to help families put food on the table and one of the most effective basic needs programs used today. And the return on investment is clear: Each dollar funded by SNAP generates $1.79 in economic activity. The horrific reality of Republicans’ cuts is that children will also be impacted. They will go hungry and fall behind.

⚠️ Extreme cuts to the federal budget will not just strip away health care coverage and take away nutrition assistance to people who need it most — but will also gut these basic needs programs for generations to come. We CANNOT let this stand.

You can take action and demand Congress reject this dangerous budget now.
