Stop Republican efforts to cut heating assistance for nearly 700,000 people.
The Republican budget proposal in Congress would eliminate heating assistance to fund tax cuts for the wealthy and big corporations.
Why is this important?
The Republican budget bill in the U.S. Senate would eliminate heating assistance (LIHEAP) by cutting $4 billion from the program over the next 10 years. This would end heating assistance for nearly 700,000 people -- seniors on fixed incomes, people with disabilities, and families with children.
80% of the tax cuts in this budget would go to the wealthiest 1% of Americans.
