Trump’s billionaire budget is trying to fund handouts to Big Oil, tax cuts for billionaires, and mass detention facilities with our tax dollars. Money that should be used for life saving services like Medicaid and SNAP that millions of Americans rely on to keep their family healthy and their kids fed. Honestly this is only the tip of the iceberg. Trump’s budget is brimming with proposals that pad the pockets of his wealthy buddies and strip away critical government services we depend on. We’re descending on Washington to say No Deal!
People all over the country are already taking action - We know June will be a critical moment. It’s the climate movement’s moment to throw down and say NO DEAL! Join us in Washington DC on June 3rd.
Here’s the plan:
- Direct Action in DC: Take part in actions, meet with elected officials, and join our press conference. Together share powerful stories about how this deal between Trump and Billionaires will impact working families across the country. Together we’ll stop the worst parts of this budget.
- Confront Elected Officials at Home: When elected officials return home the week of June 16th for Congressional Recess we’ll confront them about the budget they passed, what they chose to fund, and what they chose to cut. (More guidance on this coming soon!) Details:
