Yesterday was exhausting, but I’m truly full of gratitude to those of you who tuned into my reading of Republicans’ budget bill at the United States Capitol.
This bill would be devastating to so many communities across the country, and Arizonans will feel the impact of Republicans’ greediness and spinelessness heavily.
If you missed our reading, here’s what I want you to know:
→ This bill hands $200 BILLION dollars worth of tax breaks to the wealthiest families and individuals in the country, many of whom made their wealth destroying our communities through Big Oil or Big Pharma.
→ This bill would kick thousands of Arizonans off their healthcare, rip away millions of dollars from hospitals serving underserved communities like rural hospitals, and leave critical gaps in care.
→ With this bill, Arizonans’ electricity bills could increase nearly 14% at a time when we’re already dealing with deadly high heat and even higher costs to stay cool. People are already struggling to make ends meet, and higher bills mean that they will be forced to choose between paying for prescriptions or paying for air conditioning — which could be deadly.
Republicans are moving at the speed of light to hand out tax breaks to their buddies that you and I will be paying for with increased everyday costs. Pitch in right now to help our team connect with more communities to let them know exactly who is working for them and who is working against them in Congress.
