An open letter to the U.S. Congress

This budget will ruin lives — don’t you dare pass it.

7 so far! Help us get to 10 signers!

I don’t even know where to start. I’m exhausted. Everyone I know is exhausted. We’re doing everything we can just to survive — and now you expect us to sit quietly while Trump pushes a budget that rips the floor out from under us? This budget is a death sentence for working-class people. For families. For the disabled. For the elderly. For students. For people already one step away from losing everything. You’re going to gut social programs, slash public services, and steal what’s left of our safety net, just to hand billions back to the people who already own everything? We’re not stupid. We see what’s happening. You are choosing billionaires over us. Again. And we’re the ones who will pay for it—with lost jobs, lost healthcare, lost homes, lost futures. Don’t tell me this is about “fiscal responsibility” while the rich hoard their wealth, dodge taxes, and bankrupt the rest of us. If you actually cared about the deficit, you’d tax them fairly. Vote no. Vote no for your constituents, for your communities, for what’s left of your conscience. We are begging you.
