It’s not a “big, beautiful bill”. It’s a big, beautiful tax break for billionaires.

This MAGA plan will impact all of us.  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌

 

After narrowly avoiding a government shutdown, MAGA Republicans are now free to focus on their top priority, Pamela: Passing a budget that pours at least $300 BILLION into the Pentagon, mass deportations, and war profiteering — all while handing trillions in massive new tax breaks to billionaires.

It will require stripping vital resources like health insurance and nutrition assistance from millions of vulnerable families and gut critical social safety net programs like Medicaid, SNAP, and school meals.[1] If you're infuriated, you're not alone.

After immense public outrage, Republicans are under incredible pressure to change course. But to push them to say no to Trump? Well, that'll take a massive campaign like we've rarely seen before. Luckily, that's exactly what Win Without War is made for.

That's why we're mounting advocacy and grassroots campaigns that leverage EVERY asset we have: Our activist base (you!), our relentless lobbying team, our access to the press, our relationships with key champions in Congress and partners across the movement, and more. It's how we'll seize the moment to BLOCK weapons contractor payouts and SAVE social programs. Join us.

We know that with the kind of power we have when we work together, we can force Congress to abandon the worst of their plans. But playing defense on social programs AND offense against the weapons lobby requires a sustained, massive effort. We count on grassroots supporters like you to chip in to help fuel this fight.

Right now, the House and Senate are racing to align on topline numbers for what Trump has named his 'big, beautiful bill'. The latest tally is at least $100 billion more for the Pentagon, plus another $200 billion more to enable the military and ICE to carry out mass deportations and immigration detention. 

If this horrible budget passes, the Trump administration will not only further cement the United States role as the world's biggest weapons contractor, and pay for a bunch of billionaires to get tax breaks, but it'll also allow ICE to supercharge raids outside our schools, churches, and hospitals and tear families apart. 

That's not even the whole story. To pay for it, House Republicans have narrowly agreed on a topline plan that would slash Medicaid by $880 BILLION. That move would immediately cut life-saving health care for millions of low-income people, many of them children — a community with little chance of getting coverage from another source. It's an immoral and dangerous choice that will cost lives. 

But here's where it gets interesting, Pamela: Republicans hold just a slim majority, so they need near-unanimous support to pass the bill. And now, their ranks are splitting as a handful of representatives have heard concerns that voting for a bill that would take health care away from their most vulnerable constituents, while pouring our resources into ICE and the Pentagon, might not be good politics.[2]

That's why THIS is the moment to overwhelm Capitol Hill with calls, billboards, ads, and the kind of relentless lobbying that can save the social safety net and stop the blank checks for weapons of war and mass deportation. But influencing Congress is more challenging than ever. We're up against lobbyists and special interests with deep pockets and dirty relationships — and we're facing a $26,702 fundraising gap that has consequences for us to give it our all.

Not many are willing to go up against the enormous influence of mega-defense corporations and their lobbyists, but Win Without War does it every single day. Our small, mighty team is already hard at work on plans to lobby legislators and mobilize the grassroots to stand up to Musk and Trump – but we can't do it without your support. Can you chip in now to help us?

Pamela, safety and security require critically needed investments in healthcare, infrastructure, education, peacebuilding, and diplomacy. We’re not about to let those priorities fall by the wayside so billionaires like Musk can make another buck.

If you’re not in a place to donate right now, we understand and we hope you’ll keep using your voice to take action with us at every opportunity.

Our job, now and always, is to defend communities facing violence and injustice. To have a chance at getting people the resources they need to stay safe and thrive, we’ll have to keep working the same way we always have: Together.

Thank you for working for peace,
The Win Without War team
