STAND WITH US!

TELL CONGRESS TO VOTE NO ON THE BUDGET BILL

In less than 72 hours, American infrastructure as we know it could change.
Right now, the senate is voting on the budget reconciliation bill, and the proposed cuts are devasting.
This bill would radically upend the livelihood of the most vulnerable people in our communities.

It. Must. Not. Pass.

Tonight, we must come together—loud, united, and unrelenting.

The so-called Big Beautiful Bill is a deeply harmful piece of legislation that would slash vital programs our communities rely on.
Medicaid and SNAP benefits (food assistance for families who need a little help), and more are all on the line.
If passed, this bill will gut protections, defund services, and roll back decades of progress, just to pay for billionaire tax breaks.

We need YOU to take action right now:

📞 Click the link below to be patched directly through to your senator. Tell them clearly:
Vote NO on the Big Beautiful Bill.

Then, join us this evening at 8PM ET for an emergency virtual town hall.

This is not a drill. These cuts are dangerous. The vote is imminent. And we can’t afford silence.

Let’s raise our voices together and stop this bill in its tracks.
