UWF Calls for Action on Legislation
From United Women in Faith
The proposed budget bill gifts tax cuts to the wealthiest at the expense of the most vulnerable. $793 billion cut to Medicaid would mean over 10 million people losing their health insurance. $300 billion cut to the Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program (SNAP) would mean 7 million people going hungry, including 2 million children. This bill provides $134 billion to Immigration, Customs, and Enforcement (ICE) to expand detention facilities and enforcement on immigrant and refugee communities through mass deportations, raids, detentions and arrests.
Conferences At Heart of UMC Dismantling Racism
Titles, program names and approaches differ among conferences, yet the vision remains the same: eradicating racism requires sustained effort over a long time. The most effective approaches begin with education to appreciate, not fear, diversity.
