STOP Trump's slash-and-burn budget

 

SIGN NOW: Demand Congress REJECT Trump’s attempts to gut crucial programs >> Right now, Trump is trying to turn his and Elon Musk’s slash-and-burn agenda into law. While working Americans struggle under the weight of Trump’s tariffs, he wants to rip hundreds of billions of dollars from the programs that keep our communities fed, healthy, and safe from pollution. That’s right – the bill he and his party are ramming through Congress would kick 7.6 million Americans off Medicaid, gut SNAP, and cut climate action – all to bankroll Trump’s mass deportation agenda and handouts to the top 1%. [1] Let’s be clear: this bill wouldn’t balance the budget – because that was never their true goal. [2] It’s a ruthless power grab to reshape our way of life for the benefit of the billionaire class – and they’re counting on us to be too distracted, divided, and tired to fight back. Will you help us prove them wrong? Congress may vote on Trump’s extremist budget bill as soon as this Wednesday, so we must act NOW. Add your name to demand Congress reject Trump’s bill and protect the programs millions of Americans rely on >> SIGN THE PETITION This isn’t just about our budget – it’s about dismantling the systems that protect our health, our rights, and our democracy. If it passes, it will hurt real people: families losing healthcare, kids going hungry, communities choked by pollution, and voices silenced for daring to speak out. And on top of the billions of dollars ripped away from programs everyday Americans depend on, the GOP is stuffing this monster of a bill with every extremist, partisan idea they can find. They’re handing AI companies a 10-year free pass from state regulation, blocking local efforts to stop deepfakes and AI-driven election lies. [3] They even tried slipping in language to let this administration shut down nonprofits Trump doesn’t like. [4] Thanks to pressure from Common Cause members like you, lawmakers removed this dangerous language Sunday night – but they could sneak it back in at any moment. We’ve faced threats like this before – and every time, it’s democracy activists like you rising up that have made the difference. Sign the Petition: Tell Congress to STOP this dangerous bill and protect the programs and freedoms we all depend on. The stakes are too high to sit this one out. Every signature and every voice adds power to our movement.
