Hi John,

The government shutdown has now dragged on for 23 days. Across the country, federal workers are struggling to pay bills without their paychecks. And President Trump and his allies in Congress still seem to have no interest in getting to work funding the government and fixing the health care crisis.

Meanwhile, time is running out for millions of working people and their families. Governors nationwide are sounding the alarm that SNAP, the federal food assistance program, will run out of funding in two weeks. That means more than 42 million Americans, including some 1.2 million veterans, are about to lose their food assistance.

Working people, seniors and kids across the country will go hungry because of the Trump shutdown.

House Speaker Mike Johnson, Senate Majority Leader John Thune, and your senators and representative need to keep hearing from you. Tell them to fund the government, fix the health care crisis and put working people first NOW.

Food assistance isn’t the only crisis we’re watching closely.

The Trump administration is about to allow out-of-pocket insurance premiums for some 22 million people with Affordable Care Act (ACA) health care to more than double before the open enrollment period starts on Nov. 1.

And as millions lose coverage because of the cuts to Medicaid and these obscene ACA price hikes, everyone will be forced to pay more for health care. No one can afford this—especially not working people who are already struggling to cover the rising costs of gas and groceries and to just keep the lights on.

Americans can’t wait any longer. Please take a minute to make a call to House Speaker Johnson, Senate Majority Leader Thune, and your senators and representative today. Make a call now: 844-896-5059 or click here to call. Tell them to fund the government, fix the health care crisis and put working people first.
