Hi John,
The federal government has shut down—effectively locking out close to a million federal workers—because the Trump administration chose chaos and pain over responsible governing.
Countless jobs, the essential government services we all rely on and the economy are in jeopardy right now—all because the administration wants to gut the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and throw working people off their health care. The result would leave millions of people uninsured and raise prices for everyone, whether you get your insurance through the ACA or not.
Make a call to House Speaker Mike Johnson, Senate Majority Leader John Thune, and your senators and representatives to tell them to PUT WORKING PEOPLE FIRST, fund the government and stop the health care crisis.
As the government shuts down, hundreds of thousands of federal workers are being put on leave or will be forced to work without pay. More than 80% of those workers live outside Washington, D.C., running the services we rely on: caring for our veterans, processing Social Security applications, keeping our food and water safe, protecting us at airports and responding during natural disasters.
I urge all BCTGM members and supporters to call their representatives in solidarity with these workers. Every day this Trump shutdown drags on, workers and their families are forced to make impossible choices.
CALL CONGRESS NOW: Tell them Federal workers aren’t your pawns. Fund the government. Fix the health care crisis. PUT WORKING PEOPLE FIRST.
Anthony Shelton, BCTGM International President
