After a lifetime of "don't have kids if u can't afford em" attacks on poor women, same ppl overturn Roe now begging fams to produce more child laborers. Yet they're gutting programs that funds 2/5 pregnancies in our country. Require vasectomies/child support? Make kids affordable? Why u hate women?
The budget bill that Congress is considering right now would be a disaster for working people.

Huge cuts to essential services like Medicaid, Social Security, SNAP, and more - all to give billionaires and corporations even more tax breaks.

SNAP is our nation’s first line of defense against hunger and strengthens communities by reducing poverty, improving health and learning outcomes, supporting a productive workforce, and more.

We urge elected officials to stand with workers and strengthen–not cut–SNAP benefits.

New Mexico made childcare free. It lifted 120,000 people above the poverty line
