An open letter to the U.S. Senate

Oppose this destructive bill now

The proposed budget reconciliation bill H.R. 1, also known as the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act," represents a massive transfer of wealth from working families and communities to the nation's wealthiest individuals and corporations. It would increase the federal deficit by a staggering $2.4 trillion to finance trillions in tax cuts skewed towards the rich, while enacting devastating cuts to vital government programs that millions rely on. This bill would slash Medicaid funding and impose harsh new work requirements, restrict Medicare eligibility while raising costs for dual enrollees, triple funding for ICE's mass deportation operations, and authorize the sale of public lands to private interests and fossil fuel companies. It would gut clean energy incentives, climate protections, and SNAP benefits while expanding draconian work requirements. The bill also threatens constitutional rights by limiting courts' ability to issue injunctions, defunds the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, eliminates taxes on gun silencers, and diverts public school funding to a national private school voucher program. Such sweeping regressive measures will severely undermine the wellbeing of American families and communities to benefit the privileged few. I urge you to reject this destructive bill that puts corporations and the wealthy ahead of the needs of your constituents. Congress must instead prioritize a fair, fiscally responsible budget that uplifts working people, safeguards critical public services, and fosters broadly shared prosperity. Oppose H.R. 1 and any legislation that so egregiously favors the powerful at the expense of ordinary Americans.
