John,
For four weeks, Trump’s shutdown has forced families to live without income. Some have already drained their savings. Others are skipping bills or cutting back on groceries. And there’s still no end in sight.
While public servants are being laid off or forced to work without pay, Trump’s new tax law hands another $117 billion to the top 1% next year. The billionaires who helped finance his campaign will collect millions. The people who keep our country running? Nothing.
This is what corruption looks like. A functioning government is being torn apart to make room for tax breaks and privatization schemes. Public workers are left without pay so billionaires can hoard more wealth.
Americans for Tax Fairness Action Fund is joining forces with The Labor Force to provide immediate support.
We’re distributing grocery gift cards to federal workers who just missed another paycheck, and we’re organizing to repeal the billionaire tax cuts that put them in this position.
Can you split a donation today to fund emergency aid and fuel the fight against Trump’s rigged tax code?

We should not need to run grocery card drives to help public servants. But while Trump plays political games with people’s livelihoods, we have a responsibility to step up.
This shutdown is part of a long-term plan. Their goal is to break the public sector and remove every barrier to billionaire tax avoidance. Every cut to wages, every delayed paycheck, every eliminated program clears the way for more corporate power and less public accountability.
The richest Americans are not feeling this shutdown. But the rest of us are. Workers are being punished to keep billionaire donors happy. We’re standing with the workers because no one should be forced into poverty so the wealthiest can get another tax break.
Every donation supports workers right now and helps build the campaign to take down the corrupt tax code that made this crisis possible.
Chip in now to help us deliver grocery cards to federal workers who have missed paychecks and support our campaign to repeal these tax cuts for the rich.
Together, we can fight back against billionaire greed and protect public service.
