Send a message thanking those who stood up and voted against this monstrosity of a bill, or send a message to your members of Congress who voted for it, admonishing them for their vote.

Congress has enacted the Big Brutal Bill and Donald Trump has signed it into law.

This bill is deadly.

According to researchers from Harvard and the University of Pennsylvania, $1 trillion in Medicaid cuts plus other health care cuts—the largest in history—will result in the deaths of 51,000 people per year. Those deaths include 18,200 people who are eligible for both Medicaid and Medicare, 20,000 people who will lose health care coverage due to the elimination of the premium tax credit for the Affordable Care Act, and 13,000 deaths due to staffing cuts at nursing homes.

At a time when so many are struggling to afford the basic costs of living including groceries, new data from the Urban Institute shows that 5.3 million families will lose $25 or more per month in SNAP benefits, with the average such family losing $146 a month in help paying for food. Sixty-two percent of the families experiencing these very large SNAP losses include children.

All of this is being done in order to pay for extending the Trump tax scam—making tax breaks for the rich permanent—and funding Trump’s mass immigration detention and removal machine.

Congress needs to hear from you. Send a message thanking those who stood up and voted against this monstrosity of a bill, or send a message to your members of Congress who voted for it, admonishing them for their vote.

GivingTuesday 2019

December 3, 2019

The season of giving is here, and after your post-Thanksgiving #BlackFriday and #CyberMonday shopping, on #GivingTuesday, December 3rd, please consider supporting the Coalition on Human Needs (CHN).

CHN has been fighting for human needs for close to 40 years. This past year alone, CHN has:

  • Fought for an accurate count in the 2020 Census
  • Resisted harmful changes in programs like SNAP and Medicaid
  • Stood up to improve the Earned Income Tax Credit and Child Tax Credit
  • Organized letter-writing, phone, and comment campaigns opposing harmful changes that would hurt low-income people.

And so much more. CHN will always be committed to advocating for the human needs community, but we cannot do it alone. Now, more than ever, we need your support.

Click here to support CHN!

Help us by becoming a sustaining donor to the Coalition on Human Needs. By giving $5 monthly, you will support our efforts now and well into the future. And thanks to support of a generous funder, all contributions collectively up to $5,000 will be matched dollar for dollar.

Please keep CHN in mind for your #GivingTuesday contribution. By saving the date and making a tax-deductible donation online, you will strengthen CHN in our fight for human needs. Please join us this December 3rd.
