[ [link removed] ]Ayanna Pressley for Congress

Hello,
Congress is taking up Republicans’ budget reconciliation bill, and
Democrats have been sounding the alarm on the hurt and harm this bill will
unleash.

In my district, the Massachusetts 7th, I’ve been holding town halls and
listening to my constituents. What I’ve heard is strong opposition to this
bill for many reasons, but especially the Medicaid cuts.

Meanwhile, Republicans in Congress are AWOL. They’ve been cautioned
against hosting town halls and are outright ignoring the people in their
district. It’s gotten so bad that people in Republican districts are
reaching out to my office to have their voices heard.

And no, I’m not turning my back on them just because they don’t live in my
district. I fight for every person who calls this country home to be
safer, healthier, and more secure.

[ [link removed] ]I always say that the people closest to the pain should be closest to
the power. As Republicans continue to ignore their constituents, I’m
listening. I’m using every lever available to me to legislate equity and
justice, not hurt and harm. Our progressive movement relies on
small-dollar, grassroots donors. Will you pitch
in $25 or any
amount you can to help us defend Medicaid and other essential government
programs?

Here’s what one constituent of a Republican from Michigan sent to me:

“I’m a hospice nurse who works four days a week. My son, Michael, was
diagnosed with autism when he was two years old… He cannot be left alone
and needs to be supervised 24/7…

[Medicaid] pays for his medication, treatment, hospital stays…

I am 70 years old. I am still working as a hospice nurse four days a
week. If they take Medicaid away, I don’t know what I’ll do. I’d have to
get a second job.”

“These politicians don’t care about people like my son. They would
rather that people like my son would just die. They don’t think that he
contributes to society or is worth anything. But as his mom, I know that
is so, so, so, wrong.”

It’s abundantly clear: the American people do not support this bill.
Republicans, Democrats, and people across the political spectrum rely on
Medicaid – whether they’re in Boston or Michigan.

My colleagues and I are elected by the people to serve the people. If
Republicans won’t fight for their own constituents, we will. Democrats are
listening. And we’re not staying silent. I’m going to keep fighting, but I
need your help today.

[ [link removed] ]Every dollar from a grassroots donor like you strengthens our
progressive movement. Please, pitch in
$25 or any
amount that makes sense to you and help defend our communities against
Republican extremism.

Yours in service,

Ayanna
