Reopening the government is a basic job duty for the party in charge.
No one should have to choose between providing their families food or healthcare. Yet Republicans are determined to deny both—they put politics over people. They must end the shutdown without robbing families of basic needs.

Starving children and families to score political points is beyond cruel. It's vile and vindictive. The lives of 42 million Americans should not be used as bargaining chips. We will not stay silent while our students, families, and neighbors go hungry.
