🚨 URGENT: Protect America’s Families, Economy, and Future—Reject the Proposed Budget Cuts and Mass Deportation Plans 🚨 Dear President Trump, Members of the House of Representatives, & Senators, We, the undersigned, urgently call upon you to reject proposed budget bills that include devastating cuts to Medicaid, SNAP & education, alongside plans for mass deportations of undocumented immigrants. These measures threaten well-being of millions of Americans, will destabilize key industries, and pose severe risks to our economy & national security 🚨 Proposed Budget Cuts: A Direct Attack on Vulnerable Americans 🚨 🏥 Slashing Medicaid: Human & Economic Catastrophe The proposed $880 billion Medicaid cut would: ✅ Strip 20 to 36 million Americans of healthcare (KFF) ✅ Cause mass closures of safety net hospitals, especially in rural areas (AHA) ✅ Cut funding for 62% of nursing home residents, forcing closures (National Center for Assisted Living) ✅ 1 in 3 children with cancer in the U.S. rely on Medicaid for life-saving treatment (American Cancer Society). Slashing funding would delay diagnoses & disrupt care, worsening survival rates ✅ Trigger mass layoffs of healthcare workers, worsening hospital understaffing 🍽️ Gutting SNAP: Increased Hunger & Economic Fallout ✅ 40 million Americans—including children and seniors—would lose food assistance (CBPP) ✅ Every $1 in SNAP generates $1.50–$1.80 in economic activity. Cuts would harm retailers & farmers 📚 Undermining Education: A Blow to America’s Future ✅ Larger class sizes, defunding Pell Grants & community colleges (NEA) ✅ Eliminates student loan forgiveness, increasing student debt 🚫 Catastrophic Consequences of Mass Deportations 🚫 💸 Economic Cost ✅ $967.9 billion over 10 years in deportation costs (American Immigration Council) ✅ GDP shrinkage by 2%—up to $623.2 billion lost in private sector output (Joint Economic Committee) ✅ $97 billion in lost tax revenue; $20 billion/year lost from Social Security contributions ✅ Devastating industries • 45% of farmworkers • 20% of construction workers • 8% of healthcare workers ✅ 90% increase in dairy prices due to lost farm labor (USDA) ✅ 4.4 million U.S. citizen children live in mixed-status families—deportations would tear families apart (Migration Policy Institute) 🌟 Better Solutions: Strengthen the Economy, Protect Families ✅ Protect Medicaid & SNAP—reduces mortality, saves on emergency care (KFF) ✅ Invest in Education & Workforce Development—boosts GDP growth (Brookings Institution) ✅ Pathway to Citizenship—adds $1.7 trillion to GDP, creates 438,800 jobs (Center for American Progress) ✅ Fair Tax Policy—stop giveaways to billionaires. Instead, make the top 1% pay their fair share (Tax Policy Center) 📢 Call to Action: Stop These Dangerous Cuts & Deportations! 📌 Find Your Representative: https://www.usa.gov/elected-officials 📌 Congress Switchboard (202) 224-3121 🚨 Share this petition! The future of our families, economy, & democracy is at stake!
