Dear MoveOn member,
Just now, Senate Republicans passed one of the most deadly budget bills we've seen in years—what we're calling Trump's "Big Brutal Bill."
What's in it?
Over $1 trillion in cuts to Medicaid,1 that would leave millions of Americans losing coverage—at least 17 million, according to the latest projections.2
Devastating cuts to nutrition programs, Medicare, and essential health services.3
All to pay for $4.45 trillion in tax breaks—mostly going to the ultra wealthy and giant corporations.4
The human cost? On top of the millions of people that would be without health insurance, this bill would likely cause tens of thousands of preventable deaths every year.5
Now, the Republican majority in the House of Representatives will try to jam this through because of Trump's orders to pass the bill by the 4th of July. But there's no guarantee they can do it: The House Republican majority is razor thin, Democrats are united, the bill is hugely unpopular, and there are Republican members who are scared of the real-world impact, as well as the political impact on their own careers.
Now is the time to push back. Here are some highly impactful and visible ways to fight back against this dangerous bill and save lives:
Organize a drop-in visit: If you're able, go to your representative's in-district office and tell them to protect Medicaid and VOTE NO on the billionaire tax giveaway. Right now, this is the most impactful way to show your representative the human impact of this legislation.
Post on social media: We need to show how visible our movement is. If you host an event, go to your representative's office, or take action otherwise to fight against this bill, take a picture of yourself at your local district office and share it on social media. You can use these hashtags: #NoBillionaireBailout #StoptheCuts
Make calls: If you can't go to your representative's office, calls still remain widely impactful. You can call your representative at 888-754-9086.
It's not over just yet. We can still make an impact and save lives here. Millions of people rely on these critical and essential services, and we will continue to fight for each and every one of them. The Senate and House versions of the bill are wildly different. House Republicans won't like all of the changes—and that gives us the opportunity to act.
Thanks for all you do.
