Tell the Senate to reject cuts to Medicaid, ACA, Medicare, and SNAP

The disastrous budget reconciliation package that is now in the Senate will severely harm at-risk communities unless substantial changes are made.

The $295 million in SNAP cuts will increase hunger across the country, hitting children, seniors, and working families the hardest. At a time when food insecurity is still high in many communities, cutting SNAP is both cruel and short-sighted.

Roughly 15 million Americans will lose health coverage because of the $800 billion cut to Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act along with other provisions in the House package.

Tens of millions of people with low incomes will lose access to basic needs programs, all to give tax breaks that primarily benefit the wealthy and corporations while inflicting harm on immigrant communities.

We cannot keep allowing the passage of these unfair tax policies that disproportionately benefit the rich while making low-income and vulnerable communities suffer, including by taking food assistance and health care away from millions. That’s not good for our society or economy.

Now more than ever, it’s critical that Congress protect health care, nutrition, and other essential services that help millions of families meet their basic needs. We should strengthen support for these programs—not take them away. We need each and every Senator to get a strong and clear message that their constituents oppose these harmful proposals.

Send a message to your senators demanding they reject cuts to Medicaid, Medicare, and SNAP in their budget reconciliation package.

Unfinished Business: The FY23 Biden Budget and what’s next for human needs programs

April 11, 2022 @ 2:30 pm - 3:30 pm

On March 28th President Biden released his proposed Fiscal Year 2023 budget. This budget proposes vital investments in our future while providing for the urgent economic and public health investments that families need now.

Join the Coalition on Human Needs and the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities to hear policy experts who will explain what you need to know about the President’s new budget and how it can be the blueprint for congressional action.

The Biden budget tackles the unfinished business before us. It pledges continued support for an economic package needed now, including the expanded Child Tax Credit and EITC, affordable child care, health care, housing, and reduced prescription drug costs and climate change mitigation. And it proposes important expansions of mental health services, affordable housing, education funding, more humane treatment of immigrants, and much more.

The Biden budget shows we can afford the investments our nation needs while reducing the deficit, by requiring the ultra-wealthy and corporations to pay a fairer share of taxes.

You’ll learn about these proposals, and how to use them to get Congress to act on its once-in-a-generation opportunities to pass historic economic legislation that would lift millions out of poverty and reduce inequities that hold us back. The time to get the job done is now.
