Dear MoveOn member,
Nearly every single Republican in Congress just passed a budget plan with the largest Medicaid cut in history—all to fund tax breaks for billionaires like Elon Musk.1
This isn't a Washington policy debate. This is about millions of real people losing health care.
The Republican budget plan could slash Medicaid by $880 billion. That's health care for children, seniors, people with disabilities, and working families—all gone to pad the pockets of the wealthiest few.2
Nearly 1 in 4 Americans—over 79 million people—rely on Medicaid for their health care.3 These are our neighbors, our family members, our friends. Maybe it's you reading this email, Andra.
And Republicans just voted to gut our health care. But it's not over yet. Passing a final budget plan will require more rounds of voting, which is why MoveOn is jumping into action with a nationwide plan to stop the cuts.
Together, we are:
- Organizing headline-grabbing campaigns to pressure persuadable Republicans in moderate districts to vote against these cuts
- Mobilizing constituents to flood congressional offices with calls and emails
- Amplifying stories of people who would be hurt by these cuts
- And getting people out onto the streets at protests, rallies, and marches to say "hell no!"
But we need your help to make it all happen. Will you make a $9 donation today to help fund staff and organizing tools, expose these health care cuts, help people make their voices heard, and pressure the most persuadable Republicans? (If you have saved your payment information with ActBlue, your donation will go straight through.)
The House passed this budget by just two votes (216-214).4
Just. Two. Votes.
That means we need to flip only a tiny number of Republican votes to stop these cuts.
And we can absolutely accomplish that mission. We know, because we've done it before.
During Trump's first term, when Republicans also controlled the House and Senate in 2017 and 2018, MoveOn was a critical leader, helping bring millions of us together to block major parts of Trump's agenda. Together, our movement did all this:
- Saved the Affordable Care Act
- Forced Trump to end family separation at the border
- Prevented some of his most extreme policies from being implemented
- Stopped Trump from further destroying the U.S. Postal Service and other key democratic institutions through sustained resistance
We did it together, with millions of Americans taking action with purpose and resolve.
That's precisely where MoveOn comes in, with millions of members, in every single state and congressional district all across the country.
What happens next comes down to us.
To our ability to engage in peaceful protest.
To organize and mobilize others.
To work against cuts to lifesaving health care.
To fight for justice and a democracy that enables everyone to thrive.
Will you make a $9 donation today to support MoveOn's work to target the most persuadable Republicans in moderate districts and make them feel the heat from their constituents? (If you have saved your payment information with ActBlue, your donation will go straight through.)
Thanks for all you do.
