John,

The budget resolution and reconciliation process in Congress is a powerful tool that allows lawmakers to advance policy with a simple majority, bypassing the filibuster. This process sets spending and revenue limits, and can include instructions for committees to make significant cuts or changes to programs. Right now, Republicans are using this process to cut healthcare funding and food assistance in order to pay for cuts for themselves, Elon Musk, and their billionaire friends.

Currently, the House Budget Committee is advancing a resolution that mandates severe budget cuts, which are expected to significantly impact SNAP benefits, Medicaid, and education funding. In other words, they are taking healthcare from our grandparents, food from our children, and raising our student loans to pay for tax cuts for millionaires, billionaires and corporations to ensure we are paving the way for a generation of trillionaires. This is not just a budget proposal; it’s an attack on the well-being and the lives of millions to benefit a privileged few.

That’s why Color Of Change is mobilizing to stop this harmful agenda and protect the programs that families rely on. Tell your representative to protect working families and VOTE “NO” on reconciliation.

Here’s what Color Of Change is urging you to do:

• Urge your representative to reject the partisan reconciliation package.
• Then, urge your representative to vote against tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations.
• Finally, explain why Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, SNAP/TANF benefits, and student loan assistance matter and why Congress should keep their hands off!

Don’t let Congress take your hard-earned money and give it to Elon Musk and Trump’s other billionaire friends. If we don’t stop these tax cuts, we will be closer to creating the first trillionaires than we are to closing the racial wealth gap.

We need you in the fight with us.
