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.

Coalition on Human Needs: Special Post-Election Webinar

November 9, 2020 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm

Watch a recording of this webinar here. See slides here and handout here.

There is so much on the line with the election and so much uncertainty regarding the outcome. Join the Coalition on Human Needs for an hour of clarity on Monday, November 9th at 1 p.m. ET. You’ll hear from Senator Sherrod Brown; Jared Bernstein, noted economist and economic adviser to former Vice President Biden; Lee Saunders, president of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees; and other important leaders. You’ll learn up-to-date details regarding the state of play of the election — the implications its outcomes will have for human needs programs over the next four years, and likely congressional decision-makers.

No matter the outcome of the election, those with low incomes and other vulnerable people will need strong advocacy over the next four years. Join us to learn what we think comes next. You’re welcome to forward this notice to your colleagues or networks.
