Tell Congress: Fund communities, not billionaire war profiteers
Urge Congress to reject any budget that sacrifices funding for programs that help our communities thrive — food security, health care, climate protection, and education — to pay for endless war and deportation.
Why is this important?
Today, families across the country are worried — about their jobs, their grocery bills, making rent, paying for childcare, and whether a retirement fund they’ve built over decades will be worth anything amidst a shaky stock market.
Meanwhile, as Trump and Hegseth are pledging a record-breaking $1 TRILLION Pentagon budget, Congress is busy putting the final touches on a budget proposal that would pour another $150 billion into weapons and war, PLUS $175 billion more to pay to detain and deport millions more people.
This budget plan is a disaster for working families and a goldmine for war profiteers and private prison contractors.
Trump’s budget is a nonstarter, but we won’t stop it unless we speak out. That’s what’s so important about this moment: MILLIONS of people are already saying “Hands Off” our resources and our communities.
Our voices are how we’ll remind members of Congress we won’t stand for a budget that’s little more than a slush fund for weapons contractors like Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, and Boeing, which rake in HALF the Pentagon topline every year. Together, we’ll push Congress to rethink its broken approach and prioritize peoples’ needs — so please act now.
Tell Congress: Reject this dangerous budget and invest in communities, not weapons and deportation.
