TAKE ACTION: Tell Congress to reject Trump’s political games – and pass a People’s Budget that protects SNAP and our healthcare >>
John, we’re now one full month into Trump’s government shutdown, and his inability to make a deal is on full display.
Instead of coming to the table to protect our healthcare and keep families fed, President Trump is demanding Senate Republicans end the filibuster to pass his billionaire-first budget. [1]
Trump is done pretending to govern. Rather than doing the work to actually negotiate, he’s trying to change the rules. But working people can’t afford these political games.
SNAP is being pushed to the brink, leaving millions of parents, seniors, and veterans wondering if they’ll be able to put food on the table – and healthcare for millions more is at risk. It’s time for Congress to treat this like the national emergency it is.
Tell Congress: REJECT Trump’s demands to end the filibuster. Instead, Congress needs to come together to pass a People’s Budget that protects healthcare, keeps SNAP fully funded, and puts people before billionaires. >>
Let’s be clear: President Trump and Congressional Republicans created this crisis.
Now, they’re putting programs like SNAP on the chopping block and threatening to drive up healthcare costs for millions of families already struggling to get by.
Congress needs to hear it loud and clear: we the people are demanding better. It’s time for our members of Congress to stand up to Trump and put the people they represent first.
Tens of thousands of Common Cause members have already spoken out during this shutdown. Now, we need your voice again to flood Congress with calls and messages demanding a government that works for all of us.
Tell Congress: no backroom rule changes, no billionaire giveaways, and no cuts to food or healthcare for families. It’s time to come together and end this shutdown.
Thanks for all you do,
The team at Common Cause
