Tell Congress: Vote NO on the Budget Reconciliation Bill

Republican leaders in Congress are rushing to vote this week on a bill that robs women, children, and families of their health care, food, and education – while giving new and costly tax breaks to billionaires. 

We can’t let this happen. As leaders in Congress attempt to rip Medicaid and SNAP away from millions of people, “defund” Planned Parenthood, attack nonprofits that support communities, and so much more, it’s time to demand the wealthy pay their fair share of taxes and invest in strengthening basic needs programs. We won’t let them rob us. Take action now.
