Fighting for our rights
Republicans cut Medicaid, defunded Planned Parenthood, refused ACA tax credits… and then walked away from the table. 🪑

Sabotaging Medicaid the ACA while shutting down the govt? That’s not governing—it’s a power play.

Donald Trump shut down the government because he doesn't want you to have healthcare.

But this isn’t just on him. Democrats MUST use their leverage to protect our rights, but it can’t end there.

Schumer and Jeffries can’t just go on TV or write letters, they need clear demands. We need action now.

From 2019-2024, Lowe's spent $46.6 BILLION on stock buybacks.

That's enough to give each of its 273k employees a $28k bonus for the next six years.

Instead, it paid its CEO 659x what it paid median employees.

And we STILL think corporate tax breaks will magically trickle down?

Thousands of peaceful protesters have lined the road for over 8 continuous miles just outside of Washington DC right now!

They did not vote for a king and they are well aware that Trump is trying to cut off their health care benefits to give tax breaks to him and his billionaire donors friends.

That’s FAR lower than private sector retirement programs, btw.
