Reject budget harming vulnerable, prioritize equity and opportunity

The Republican budget's draconian cuts to vital programs like Medicaid, food assistance, and affordable housing would wreak havoc on vulnerable communities, exacerbating poverty and homelessness. By contrast, the proposed tax cuts overwhelmingly favor the wealthy and corporations. Allowing this destructive agenda that prioritizes the privileged few over the needs of ordinary Americans is unconscionable. Stand firm against Republican threats and let them own any ensuing government shutdown, rather than becoming complicit in our nation's destruction by capitulating to their demands.
