John, last weekend 7 million people came together peacefully to tell President Trump: we won’t allow a dictatorship in America. [1]

But our work doesn’t end with one protest – we have to turn that energy into collective action.

If everyone who joined the No Kings marches contacted Congress to support a People’s Budget, lawmakers in Washington would feel the power of 7 million voices demanding better. Will you take action now?

TAKE ACTION

It’s on Congress to immediately fulfill their constitutional duty and pass a budget that puts people first, keeps healthcare affordable, and reopens the government.

For more information on this shutdown – and why Congress needs to hear from you right now – you can read our message below from earlier this month:

TAKE ACTION: Hold Senator John Fetterman accountable for siding with Trump’s billionaire budget >>

TAKE ACTION

John, nearly every Senate Democrat is staying strong against Trump’s reckless shutdown scheme.

They’ve refused to give him the blank check he’s demanding for his billionaire-first agenda. That’s real courage.

But your senator sided with Republicans to advance Trump’s budget. That vote handed Trump exactly what he wanted: more leverage to hurt working families and reward billionaires.

At a moment when Trump is trying to make this shutdown as painful as possible, any cracks encourage him to ramp up his cruelty even further.

Tell Senator John Fetterman: Stop siding with Trump. Support a People’s Budget that protects our healthcare and puts your constituents first.

TAKE ACTION

We can’t afford half-measures or defections. Your senator needs to hear loud and clear that their constituents are demanding a united front to stop Trump’s lawlessness and protect our healthcare.

We hope you’ll speak out today, John.

Thanks for all you do,

The team at Common Cause
