The Trump administration and Congressional Republicans are pushing forward a budget that would cut more than $880 billion from Medicaid for low-income families and make deep cuts to healthcare, early learning, public schools and elder care that provide the tools and opportunities for families to build good lives. What’s more- they’re planning on using the money they’re taking from these critical programs to pay for more tax breaks for billionaires and to fund actions to separate families and detain hardworking undocumented workers. Tell your Members of Congress: Our tax dollars must NOT be used to fund human rights abuses, mass deportations, and an assault on due process and our rule of law.
