Dear John,
We extend our heartfelt gratitude for your unwavering support in spreading the message about Trump's harmful budget proposal. Unfortunately, on Tuesday the House voted 217 to 215 (a bare majority) to pass the resolution to proceed to a more critical vote (most likely in April) on a reconciliation budget that slashes safety net and other programs while giving billionaires massive tax breaks. Tuesday’s vote was deeply frustrating, but we made them sweat the preliminary vote, and the next and final budget vote will be much harder for them to take, especially because we’re going to make a lot of noise between now and then. Your efforts in raising awareness over the last few days were pivotal to building pressure.
We couldn’t be more thankful for your dedication. Because of you and others across the state of California, more people are waking up to the real consequences of Trump’s budget for billionaires and how it threatens vital programs that help our communities thrive. In partnership with We Are California, we reached out to thousands of voters to identify people willing to join us and patched through hundreds of people to targeted members of Congress.
