An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Stop allowing the GOP to put $ toward vendettas instead of constituents!

11 so far! Help us get to 25 signers!

This week, Republicans advanced a budget resolution that could result in ICE and Border Patrol getting an additional $140 billion to fund their warrantless arrests, militarized deployments, and concentration camps. That’s on top of the $170 billion Republicans pumped into Trump’s mass deportation machine in last year’s Big Ugly Bill. And just like with the Big Ugly Bill, they're using the reconciliation process to try to ram this funding through without needing a single Democratic vote. The bill Republicans are crafting is horrendous, but it could also be a huge political liability -- if we make it one.While Americans across the country are struggling to afford healthcare, housing, and food, Republicans are working overtime to shovel billions of dollars into unaccountable agencies that already have budgets bigger than small armies.  After this week’s vote, the GOP still has several hurdles to jump through to pass this funding. Throughout this process, we’re going to be building a massive public backlash and making sure every Republican feels the heat for trying to hand over their constituents’ tax dollars to violent, lawless agencies. Stop allowing the GOP to put money toward their vendettas instead of their constituents!
