There’s still time to stop Republicans from taking healthcare away from over 16 million Americans. Join tonight’s phonebank as we mobilize Medicaid recipients to contact their senators and stop Trump's Tax Scam. Every call counts: www.mobilize.us/move...
Phone Bank to Save Medicaid! · MoveOn
Congress will soon vote on whether to advance a budget resolution that would take away nearly a trillion dollars of support and assistance from everyday people, including the largest proposed cuts to Medicaid in history.
This budget would enact more than $1 trillion in cuts to vital public programs their own constituents depend on, including Medicaid, food assistance, and education, to help fund their massive tax giveaway for the ultra-wealthy and big corporations.
Join **MoveOn, Working Families Power, Indivisible, Community Change Action, and Public Citizen** for a national phone bank to Medicaid recipients urging them to call their Senators ahead of the upcoming budget vote to stop the cuts and save Medicaid!

Yet today, in the Appropriations Committee, we are still debating bigoted policy riders that would allow discrimination against LGBTQI+ people under the guise of religious liberty.

After getting blocked the first time, Sen. Mike Lee is revising his land grab plan and trying to sneak it back into the “Big 💩 Bill.” The new proposal would force the sale of up to 1.2 million acres of public land managed by the Bureau of Land Management.
