Tell Congress: No Cuts That Hurt Working Families, Kids and Retirees — Dial 231-400-0602 to be connected with your Senators or click this link.
The Senate just voted to pass a budget reconciliation bill that is even worse than the bill the House of Representatives passed a few weeks ago. It would make working families poorer, sicker and less safe—all to deliver a nearly $5 trillion gift to billionaires.
The overwhelming harm of this reckless bill for working families—which will cause 17 million Americans to lose their health care, hospitals and nursing homes to close, millions of jobs lost, and higher health care and energy costs for everyone—cannot be overstated. Lawmakers who say this budget reconciliation bill is about fiscal responsibility are willfully ignoring that this bill will grow the budget deficit by over $4 trillion.
The House of Representatives has one last chance to stop this job-slashing, health-care-gutting giveaway to the extremely wealthy from becoming law—but the vote is just hours away. If you are one of the thousands of people who made a call already, we need you again right now.
Congress is moving fast to pass a partisan budget reconciliation bill that only needs Republican support. This is the last chance to slow down or strip out the harmful provisions in this bill.
Learn more and call your representative to tell them, “No cuts to working families!”
Here are some of the ways how this bill will harm working Americans and families in every state and every Congressional District:
Rips health care away from 17 million people and eliminates 600,000 care jobs, forcing over 300 rural hospitals to close their doors.
Spikes health care costs for people with employment-based insurance by nearly $500 per person per year and nearly $2,000 annually for a family of four.
Destroys hundreds of thousands of energy jobs in construction, manufacturing and production, and raises energy costs at a moment when working-class households are already struggling.
Slashes food assistance for nearly 3 million Americans, and slashes at least 140,000 jobs in food processing facilities, school cafeterias, grocery stores, and farms by cutting billions in SNAP funding.
Threatens an estimated 1.75 million construction jobs and over 3 billion work hours, which translates to $148 billion in lost annual wages and benefits.
Adds $155 billion in funding for President Trump’s mass deportation agenda to increase raids that target immigrant workers, throw members of our communities and our unions in detention, and rip families apart.
Make a Call: Restore Federal Bargaining Rights Now
Ask your representatives to support the Protect America’s Workforce Act - pass bipartisan legislation to stop the Trump EO that seeks to end bargaining rights for federal workers.
On April 1, Reps. Jared Golden (D-ME) and Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA) introduced a bipartisan bill in Congress that would nullify Trump’s executive order stripping the right to collectively bargain from hundreds of thousands of federal employees. It’s time for Congress to hear from supporters of working people on a bill that will help working people across the country.
