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.

CHN blogpost recapping this event along with resources and the recording: Our Path Forward: Advocates nationwide join in CHN’s webinar on how to protect people despite threats from the new Administration and Congress

You know much is at risk as the new Congress gets started, even before Inauguration Day. People across the nation are concerned about high costs, but there are serious threats that Congress and the new Administration will make things worse for many millions of people, while enriching multi-millionaires and corporations with more tax breaks.

But this is not a done deal.
The congressional majority is slim and divided. We can protect people and the programs they need – if we work together.

Find out how you can make a difference. You’ll hear about strategies that have worked in the past and can work again. You’ll learn about resources and tools to make it easier for you to join in.

You’ll hear from national experts on how to protect children, families, immigrants, people who need health care, food aid, and more.
