I’m calling to say that Congress needs to return and pass disaster funding for Hurricane Helene relief efforts now! Also, I’m aware that House Republicans specifically refused to support more funding for FEMA right before Helene hit AND that a whopping 175 House Republicans voted to defund FEMA as recently as 2021. I also understand that the Republicans’ FY2025 budget cuts FEMA by 14 million dollars. Why, in a rapidly intensifying climate emergency, would we cut FEMA? Is it because that’s what Project 2025 calls for? I find it outrageous that Republicans are so out of touch with what Americans want and need in this moment. Fully fund FEMA now, please! And prioritize climate action. Thanks.
