Tell the Senate to Vote No on the GOP Budget Bill

In May the GOP-controlled House voted for a budget bill that is over 1,000 pages, but the bottom line is that it increases spending, except for vital social services, like food stamps, Medicaid, and even Medicare, which will be slashed. It also adds money to ICE's budget, puts gender-affirming and reproductive healthcare in jeopardy, and risks making a president not accountable to any court, among other things. Take action now to prevent this bill from passing in the Senate! GOP senators really NEED to hear from you if they represent you, but if your senator(s) are Democrats or Independents, it's still important to contact them, so they can tell their colleagues about what their constituents have told them! We are STILL under attack, as the Senate works to reconcile its budget with what the House (both GOP-controlled) wants. Please tell your senators to vote NO on the House Budget, which destroyers many critical parts of our democracy.

Actions Needed

1) Contact Your Senators With A Personalized Script

The Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation have a tool that helps you find your legislators, contact them a way that works for you, and they offer a script, which you can use as-is or edit if you'd like. We highly recommend making your ask personal, as those types of letters are more likely attract the attention of your elected officials, regardless of party. This tool allows you to have a script but add your story, too!
