John,

As the shutdown enters its third week, the impacts are beginning to be felt nationwide, from federal layoffs to furloughs to cuts to federal services.

That’s why, today at 1pm ET, I will join an “End the Shutdown Virtual Town Hall” with the Fair Budget Coalition, eminent civil rights and labor leaders, social justice advocates, and more.

I’ll be speaking about the impacts of health care and other basic needs program cuts on our communities, and why Congress must fight back against skyrocketing health costs and autocratic acts to slash or close key services. Click here to watch today’s “End the Shutdown Virtual Town Hall” from 1 – 2pm ET.

From the Coalition on Human Need’s recent government shutdown webinars¹, to sending hundreds of thousands of messages to Congress demanding they address our health care crisis, to today’s virtual town hall, to this weekend’s upcoming No Kings rallies, we are organizing every single day to hold this authoritarian administration accountable.

Donate today to power our advocacy and activism, fighting for vulnerable communities in this time of relentless attacks.

Together, we’re resisting these attacks on our communities and our very democracy.

With you in this fight,

Deborah Weinstein
Executive Director, Coalition on Human Needs
