Stop Trump's Budget Bill

Here's what's at stake if we don't fight back

Pamela, the Senate is rushing to pass a bill that 59% of voters don't want. [1] They're under time pressure from President Trump, who wants his so-called "Big Beautiful Bill" passed by July 4th – but we call it a Big Brutal Betrayal. Why? Because it's nothing but special interest giveaways and tax cuts for the rich, paid for with draconian cuts to Medicaid, education, and aid for families in need. They're rushing this bill – the largest upwards transfer of wealth in modern history that will leave millions of Americans worse off – without a real, public debate so they can get to their summer recess quicker. Here's what's at stake if we don't fight back: Millions of people will lose their health insurance - and that number could grow to 14.4 million by 2034 [2] Seniors, people with disabilities, and working families, including more than 2 million children, will lose food assistance benefits [3] And in exchange, billionaires like Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg will get $664 billion in tax breaks [4] Income inequality is already at record levels – but the politicians running Washington D.C. are trying to make it even higher – sacrificing the health and livelihoods of their constituents to help the rich get richer. We're not going to let it happen. Our representatives work for us – and all summer long, we're going to stop this betrayal in its tracks. That's why we've launched the People's Promise — a declaration from everyday Americans across the country that we will not be governed by greed, chaos, or a handful of unelected billionaires. This is our largest-ever mobilization in a non-election year – we're collecting stories from Americans across the country, focused on the future we deserve, not just what we're against. But the scale of this effort is up to supporters like you. The amount we're able to raise in the next few weeks will directly determine how much pressure we can put on lawmakers before these upcoming key votes.
