TAKE ACTION! Call Your Member of Congress Today and Tell them to VOTE “NO” On Budget Bill

We need every working person in our state to make their voice heard by calling their member of Congress today and telling them to vote no on Trump’s “big beautiful bill.”

The Senate just voted to pass a budget reconciliation bill that is even worse for working families than the bill the House of Representatives passed a few weeks ago. This bill will come at the expense of working families, making them poorer, sicker and less safe—all to deliver a nearly $5 trillion gift to billionaires.

The vote on this bill is just hours away, with the healthcare of 17 million Americans is at stake. This bill would cause hospitals and nursing homes to close, the loss of millions of jobs, and higher health care and energy costs for everyone. 

To learn more and call your representative to tell them, “No cuts to working families!” click here. 

Here are just a few of the ways that the Senate’s version of the budget reconciliation bill will hurt working families:

  • Rips health care away from 17 million people and eliminates 600,000 care jobs, forcing over 300 rural hospitals to close their doors.
  • Spikes health care costs for people with employment-based insurance by nearly $500 per person per year and nearly $2,000 annually for a family of four.
  • Destroys hundreds of thousands of energy jobs in construction, manufacturing and production, and raises energy costs at a moment when working-class households are already struggling.
  • Threatens an estimated 1.75 million construction jobs and over 3 billion work hours, which translates to $148 billion in lost annual wages and benefits.
Our voices do matter, and they were heard yesterday when people like you took a strong stand against a reckless provision in the bill on the regulation of artificial intelligence. When forced to take a vote, 99% of senators voted to remove it.
We urge you to join us in speaking out today before it’s too late. To call, click here.
