When Congress chooses billionaires, we choose each other

“We are here today and we are saying loud and clear: Families come first. Not billionaires, not sell-out politicians, certainly not ICE.” -Sterling Harders, President, SEIU 775

Last Saturday,  teachers, parents, and healthcare workers across the country came together to send lawmakers a clear message that we won’t stay quiet about the horrific healthcare and food stamp cuts that Trump’s Congress just passed.

These cuts are already being felt. The Governor’s Office estimates that as many as 80,000 people could lose healthcare coverage starting in January, and ultimately, around 250,000 residents will lose Medicaid coverage, while around 150,000 people will be priced out of the state’s health care exchange. We simply can’t afford this cruelty.

It’s time to fix our upside down tax code and restore funding to these services that families count on. This work has never been more important.
