Stand Up To Trump's Funding Freeze

We need to remind everyone in Congress—Democrats and Republicans—that what happened is not OK. Not only is the new president violating the law by pausing funding that Congress already passed, he’s also hurting people in every corner of the country, including in red states.

No Cuts to Medicaid!

Right now Congress is discussing a budget plan that will mean steep cuts to the Medicaid program which supports people from birth to retirement and beyond; it is essential to keeping hospitals open and supporting students at school.
