Hi John,

As the federal government shutdown drags on, its consequences are rippling across Latino communities nationwide, from lost wages and delayed benefits to deep uncertainty about food, housing, and health care.

This government shutdown is a direct assault on Latino families who keep the country running.

>> With Latinos comprising 10.5% of the federal workforce, over 300,000 Latino federal employees are now working without pay or have been sent home without knowing when their next paycheck will come.
>> Telehealth for Medicare patients expired last week, meaning over 2 million Latinos will face obstacles in seeking essential care.
>> Both WIC and SNAP resources are at risk of being exhausted. Nearly 13 million Latinos rely on these programs to support their families’ health, nutrition, and well-being.
>> Latino-owned small businesses that depend on government contracts, payments, or approvals risk major revenue losses during a shutdown.

It’s time for our representatives to return to the negotiating table and deliver a solution that meets the needs of the American people and restores stability. Our communities deserve respect, not neglect.
