Families & The Federal Budget

No tax cuts for billionaires! Sign our letter

February 19, 2025
Oh. My. We have an update, and it’s not a good one: Last week the far-right House Republicans' plans became crystal clear when they released their budget resolution: They are trying to pass a law that will give massive ($4.5 TRILLION) tax breaks to billionaires and to mega-corporations, while forcing everyone else (like me and you) to pay the price. We need to speak out now and we need to speak out loud!!

Stop Trump’s illegal federal funding freeze

January 28, 2025
Trump’s illegal freeze potentially impacts a wide swath of vital programs that allow parents to work, children to thrive, people to contribute to their communities, and small businesses and our economy to run, like: Head Start, health care, disaster relief, school meals, veterans programs, public schools, elder care, clean water infrastructure, housing assistance, meals on wheels, and federal cancer trials, and so much more. If this sounds incredibly concerning and illegal it is!
