John,

Federal workers just missed another paycheck. But Speaker Mike Johnson is refusing to bring the House back in session and negotiate with Democrats to re-open the government.

Meanwhile, Trump left the country and is in Asia, likely making everyday costs for American families even worse.

Grocery prices continue to rise and in order to keep up with their bills, rent, and more, many federal workers are being forced to drain their savings accounts. That’s why Americans for Tax Fairness Action Fund is teaming up with The Labor Force to deliver grocery cards to federal workers.

Together, we’re fighting to lower costs for working families, from health care to food to housing―and we’re demanding the rich and corporations start paying their fair share in taxes, so we can invest in an economy that works for everyone, not just the wealthy few.

Thank you for fighting for federal workers and all working families.

John,

For four weeks, Trump’s shutdown has forced families to live without income. Some have already drained their savings. Others are skipping bills or cutting back on groceries. And there’s still no end in sight.

While public servants are being laid off or forced to work without pay, Trump’s new tax law hands another $117 billion to the top 1% next year. The billionaires who helped finance his campaign will collect millions. The people who keep our country running? Nothing.

This is what corruption looks like. A functioning government is being torn apart to make room for tax breaks and privatization schemes. Public workers are left without pay so billionaires can hoard more wealth.

Can you split a donation today to fund emergency aid and fuel the fight against Trump’s rigged tax code?

We should not need to run grocery card drives to help public servants. But while Trump plays political games with people’s livelihoods, we have a responsibility to step up.

This shutdown is part of a long-term plan. Their goal is to break the public sector and remove every barrier to billionaire tax avoidance. Every cut to wages, every delayed paycheck, every eliminated program clears the way for more corporate power and less public accountability.

The richest Americans are not feeling this shutdown. But the rest of us are. Workers are being punished to keep billionaire donors happy. We’re standing with the workers because no one should be forced into poverty so the wealthiest can get another tax break.

Every donation supports workers right now and helps build the campaign to take down the corrupt tax code that made this crisis possible.

Chip in now to help us deliver grocery cards to federal workers who have missed paychecks and support our campaign to repeal these tax cuts for the rich.

Together, we can fight back against billionaire greed and protect public service.
