Dear Friend,

You’ve been calling. You’ve been writing, You’ve been sharing your stories. And you’ve been speaking out in a million ways that have inspired us with your perseverance and dedication to making our country better for our children and communities.

And now the big, awful, terrible, totally unnecessary Republican tax and budget bill (aka the reconciliation bill) is going to be voted on this week and we need you to TAKE ACTION NOW!!!

***Sign our letter telling your U.S. House Representative to VOTE NO on the Republican tax and budget bill and instead prioritize families and our economy over billionaires.

Make no mistake–this bill is a dumpster fire of awfulness! It will take away the tools and opportunities that tens of millions of families use to build good lives. Not to mention the harm it will cause to our economy, small businesses, communities, and schools. 

Here is just a small amount of the harm that Republicans in the House are proposing and will be voted on in the next few days:

• Major cuts to Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act (ACA), and increases red tape through bigger paperwork requirements in order to access health care. The cuts to Medicaid and added red tape in this bill, along with letting the enhanced ACA premium tax credits expire, will result in 13.7 million Americans losing their health insurance. This will not only devastate the 24 million women and 40 million children enrolled in Medicaid, but also our state budgets and the health care systems we ALL depend on. [1]

• Republicans have also proposed cutting more than $300 billion from SNAP, the most signficant cut in history to the nation’s largest nutrition assistance program, leading to roughly 3 million people losing SNAP entirely at a time when more families are finding it difficult to pay for rising grocery prices. Additionally, the proposal would force burdensome paperwork requirements disguised as work requirements on parents with children over the age of 7 and older Americans, putting millions at risk of losing essential food assistance by making the program more difficult to access and navigate. [2]

• Hidden in the bill is a big hit on public schools. While public schools are seeing a funding cut, Republicans still want to give away $5 billion dollars for private school vouchers. These are being paid for by cuts to funding of public schools, which are the only schools available in many areas and are sorely underfunded. [3]

• As the bill cuts Medicaid, SNAP, and elder and child care, it also gives the Trump administration nearly a blank check to commit human rights abuses against immigrants. The bill takes away critical protections for immigrant children and contains a massive increase in funding for family separation, child detention, sending people to prisons in foreign countries without due process, , and, of course, funding to build a border wall. [4]

• And all of this is done to give trillions of dollars in tax cuts to billionaires and mega-corporations! This tax bill would give millionaires a $68,000 tax cut and give households in the top 0.1 percent a $300,000 tax cut while raising taxes or doing nothing for 33 million working-class households.[5]

***SIGN our letter now saying “Vote NO” on all the above awfulness!

We know that what Republican leadership is trying to do is stressful and discouraging, but your voices are working. And we have proof of our power together: We’ve significantly slowed down this bill by making Republican cuts to health care and nutrition programs wildly unpopular. [6] And the U.S. Senate has already said, even if this bill passes the House, it will be unacceptable in the Senate—leading one Senate Republican to call the bill “the Titanic”! [7] All accounts point to the Senate having to start over from scratch writing a new bill. Speaking out is working! Our outrage is working! You standing up for your families is working! 

Now we need to keep up the pressure! Make sure to sign our letter to your U.S. Representatives and then forward this email to your friends and family.

Together we will stop this awfulness in its tracks!

P.S. We also want to drive lots of calls to the House before the vote. Can you make a quick call to your Representative and tell them to vote no?
