Dear Friend,

I’m not going to sugar coat this: The Big Bad Betrayal Bill that
Republicans passed in Congress and Donald Trump signed into law last week
is really bad. It will lead to 17 million people losing health insurance
and needless suffering, hunger, and higher costs for many of our families
and communities.

We are outraged! And we need to tell Congressional Republicans: Shame on
you! The moms of America are watching you!

[ [link removed] ]***SIGN our letter now to Congressional Republicans telling them that
we are outraged by their “yes” vote on the Big Bad Betrayal Bill – and
will continue to speak out against the policies they are pushing. (If we
already have your information, you will be automatically signed on to the
letter when you click here).

The Big Bad Betrayal Bill was over 900 pages and we are still learning
exactly the impact of what is in the bill. Every single Democrat did the
right thing for families and the economy by voting “no” on the bill, and
they were joined by five Republicans who voted against this awfulness:
Senators Collins (ME), Tillis (NC), and Paul (KY) in the Senate and
Representatives Fitzpatrick (PA-1) and Massie (KY-4). (But 51 Republicans
in the Senate and 218 in the House did the wrong thing for families by
voting for this betrayal of a bill. Not good)

Here is what we currently know and how you and your family could be
impacted:

* Health Care Taken Away: Drastically cuts Medicaid and the Affordable
Care Act (ACA) which will take health care away from nearly 17 million
people, undermine maternal and child health, and close 300 rural
hospitals. This will disproportionately impact children, seniors, new
parents, people with disabilities, and low-income families. Those on
Medicaid will also have more red tape requirements and will need to
pay more out-of-pocket to see a doctor. It will also hurt our
communities by raising health care costs, closing obstetric and other
specialty units in hospitals, and forcing states to make agonizing
budget decisions over whether to cut health care, or other priorities
like education, public safety, and infrastructure, harming all of our
medical care regardless of where our insurance comes from. [1] 

* Nutrition Assistance Gutted: Makes a historically harmful $186 billion
cut to SNAP/food stamps, enforces new work requirements and red tape
for parents with children over the age of 14, and, for the first time
ever, shifts significant federal government spending of SNAP to
states, forcing states to find millions of extra dollars in their
budgets in order to serve hungry families, leading most states to cut
people off the program or leave the SNAP program entirely. The changes
this bill makes to SNAP are devastating and could lead to 2 million
people losing nutrition assistance at a time of rising grocery costs.

* Planned Parenthood Undermined: Blocks Planned Parenthood from
receiving federal funds, negatively impacting the over 2 million women
a year who use their services for pregnancy and family planning,
prenatal and postpartum services, cancer screenings, mental health
care, vaccines, and more. NOTE: Planned Parenthood brought this
provision to court and there is currently an injunction until at least
July 21st. We are hoping this provision will be ruled illegal
altogether. [ [link removed] ]

* Public Education and Early Education Cuts: $5 billion to fund private
school vouchers which would harmfully divert funds from public schools
that are already underfunded. The Medicaid cuts also will impact
public school programs since Medicaid is the third-largest source of
funding for K–12 public schools and funds nearly 30 percent of all
early intervention (IDEA Part C) for infants and toddlers with
disabilities. This will impact a wide range of therapies, educational
programs, and mental health services.[ [link removed] ] 

* Expanded Human Rights Abuses of Immigrants: Republicans passed cuts to
vital health care and nutrition assistance programs in order to add a
whopping $170 billion in additional funds to pay for separating
families, human rights abuses, and terrifying hardworking immigrants –
people essential to our care workforce, our economy and our future.
Our nation needs a safe and orderly immigration process that balances
compassion and security, not cuts to healthcare and not cruelty. To
put this in very concerning perspective: This is more funding than
than the budgets of the FBI; Drug Enforcement Administration; the
Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives; the US Marshals
Service; and Federal Bureau of Prisons combined! [5, 6] 

* Tax Breaks for Billionaires, Not Working Families: The entire genesis
for the Republican package, and the vast majority of the spending is
to give even more tax cuts to billionaires and mega-corporations. In
fact, 70 percent of the tax cuts go to the richest fifth of Americans
in 2026 and the richest 1 percent of Americans would receive an
average net tax cut of $66,000, which is many, many times more than
the average tax cut received by working families. This package also
leaves behind 17 million children from receiving the full benefits of
the Child Tax Credit because their parents’ incomes are too low. [ [link removed] ]
Not only do Republicans slash our health care, nutrition assistance,
and public education funding to do this, but they also increase the
national debt by $3 trillion, harming our economy and leaving our kids
with a legacy of debt. [ [link removed] ]

Republicans in Congress are as sneaky as they are cruel. While some of the
provisions (many of the tax cuts for the rich) will go into effect later
this year, many of the harsher provisions around Medicaid and SNAP won’t
go into effect for another couple of years. [ [link removed] ] Just because some of the
cuts are being delayed doesn’t mean they aren’t happening or we will
ignore them.

[2]Moms, dads, and concerned people WILL NOT be fooled and we will not
forget the devastating impacts of the Republican budget and tax bill. SIGN
our letter now! (If we already have your information, you will be
automatically signed on to the letter when you click here).

The only good news is the Big Bad Betrayal Bill is already wildly
unpopular! 55% of Americans opposed the bill before it was even passed and
a majority believe they will not benefit from it! We expected this number
to increase as people start to learn more about the bill AND start to feel
the impact of its cuts. [10, 11]] 

The [3]letter we are sending Republican leaders in Congress states the
following:

“The One Big Beautiful Bill you voted for is a betrayal of our families,
children, communities, and economy. Our country will be sicker and
hungrier, less successful, and families will face much higher costs
because of this legislation.

We did not send you to Washington, D.C. to take away our health care,
nutrition, and public school funding in order to give billionaires even
more tax breaks and to fund even more unfair separation of families, human
rights abuses, and to terrify hardworking immigrants - people essential to
our care workforce, our economy, and our future. Our nation needs a safe
and orderly immigration process that balances compassion and security, not
cuts to healthcare and not cruelty.

The moms of America are watching you and expect you to do better!”

P.S. The stories you told and your endless speaking out against the Big
Bad Betrayal Bill made a big difference and are a big reason that the bill
is so unpopular. In fact, House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries included
many stories from MomsRising members in his history making speech on the
House floor about the Big Bad Betrayal Bill. Check in out: [ [link removed] ]Facebook and
