Indivisibles,

Last night, Republicans advanced a budget resolution that could result in
ICE and Border Patrol getting an additional $140 billion to fund their
warrantless arrests, militarized deployments, and concentration camps.
That’s on top of the $170 billion Republicans pumped into Trump’s mass
deportation machine in last year’s Big Ugly Bill.

And just like with the Big Ugly Bill, they're using the reconciliation
process to try to ram this funding through without needing a single
Democratic vote.

The bill Republicans are crafting is horrendous, but it could also be a
huge political liability -- if we make it one. While Americans across the
country are struggling to afford healthcare, housing, and food,
Republicans are working overtime to shovel billions of dollars into
unaccountable agencies that already have budgets bigger than small
armies. 

After last night’s vote, the GOP still has several hurdles to jump through
to pass this funding. Throughout this process, we’re going to be building
a massive public backlash and making sure every Republican feels the heat
for trying to hand over their constituents’ tax dollars to violent,
lawless agencies.

Here’s what you can do right now:

🔴 [ [link removed] ]If you have a Republican representative, call and tell them you don’t
want any more of your tax dollars going to ICE and Border Patrol. Demand
they focus on healthcare and housing instead of giving more money to these
lawless agencies.

🔴 [ [link removed] ]If you have Republican senators, call and demand the same. Then,
encourage your friends and neighbors to call as well.

🔵 [ [link removed] ]If you have any Democratic Members of Congress, email them and tell
them to fight this bill with everything they've got. So far, Dems have
been (almost) completely united in opposing additional funding for ICE and
Border Patrol. But a no vote isn’t enough here. Democrats need to mount a
fierce campaign against this bill in the media, online, and even by
stumping in Republican districts to try to toxify and block this bill.

Every penny Republicans choose to spend on ICE and Border Patrol, on
Trump’s wars of choice, and his gaudy ballroom, is money that could be
going to healthcare, schools, and making life more affordable for working
families in our country. The GOP is going out of its way to prove how
little they care about their own constituents -- and we’re going to hammer
them for it. And together, we’re going to do everything we can do to block
this bill.

As this fight unfolds, we’ll have more actions you can take and ways to
mobilize your friends and neighbors and voters across the country -- but
you can get started today by contacting your Members of Congress.

In solidarity,
Indivisible Team
