John,

Every single week, the Coalition on Human Needs gives activists and advocates alike the resources to make critical impacts in our struggle for human needs.

As we close out 2025, we wanted to share with you what just a handful of advocates are saying about the impact we’re having in our fight for vulnerable people and families.

“Here in Colorado, we're taking $ from housing to fill the gap on SNAP/Medicaid cuts from the Big, Beautiful Bill. I think CHN does a great job bringing light to the full picture of benefits and that people don't live their lives in silos.”

“There are a lot of coalition calls. As far as I'm concerned, your Wednesday call is THE call. So valuable and information-rich. I know a lot of our peers feel the same.  I'm sure it certainly doesn't organize itself, so thank you for your efforts to put it together for us every week! You do a great job.”

Those are just a couple of unsolicited quotes we’ve received from our coalition partners over the past year. From fighting against the Big Brutal Bill to advocating for the restoration of illegally frozen or impounded funds for our communities, we’ve worked to support necessary human needs programs while also fighting back against attacks on immigrants and our democracy.

None of this work is possible without your generous support. As we near the end of 2025, consider making an end-of-year, tax-deductible donation of $5 to power our work in 2026.

Every day on the federal, state, and local levels, decisions are being made that have an immense impact on our lives. We are so grateful for supporters like you who made calls, wrote hundreds of thousands of letters, and signed petitions. Our democracy only works if we all participate.

As we head into a new year, we’ll also face new challenges and opportunities. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries is expected to be able to force a vote to extend the Affordable Care Act enhanced premium tax credits next month. We’ll be fighting to unwind the attacks on Medicaid and SNAP, while making critical investments in housing, public education, and more. And, we’ll be fighting back against authoritarian power grabs that are threatening our communities and our democracy.

Donate $5 today to power our fight back in the new year.
