Dear John,
Amid all the executive orders, funding cuts, lay offs, and ICE raids that millions are experiencing this year, communities and families in every zip code and geographical region are coming together and working to better their communities and fight for what is right.
While it is sometimes hard to stay positive in times like these, we find hope in the power of communities and everyday people who continue to forge ahead. This month’s Frontline Temp Check is dedicated to them. People like you, in communities spanning every landscape. Those unsung heroes who care for their families, tend to their neighbors, and rally for their communities are holding us together.
We see the results everyday. In fact, it is pressure from communities that stopped the selling off of public lands to oil and gas interests and language that could have been used to destroy non-profits, from being included in the recent budget bill passed by the U.S. House of Representatives.
However, there is still much more that remains in the bill that we must come together and raise our voices against. Now is the time to show our strong opposition to the current version being considered in the Senate because it will have devastating consequences for families and communities in every zip code. From tearing families apart to jeopardizing the health and well-being of seniors who rely on things like Medicaid to parents who depend on clean energy jobs that will now be abandoned.
This month, let’s come together and join millions of people who are raising their voices to stand for a sensible budget reconciliation bill that invests in a strong climate and green jobs that ensure a safe and healthy future for all of us, not tax breaks for a wealthy few. |
