THE FIERCE URGENCY OF NOW!

The Republican Party is proposing 715 billion in budget cuts to Medicaid. Seventy-two million people in the U.S. were enrolled in Medicaid as of October 2024. Over 66 million Americans get their health coverage from Medicare.
 

There is also a proposal to cut Veterans’ healthcare, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), and Head Start programs for children. We must not let the current administration cut Social Security Benefits. In January 2025, 73 million people, or approximately 1 in 5 Americans, received Social Security Benefits.
 

We cannot allow resources intended to benefit low-income and middle-income households to be transferred to wealthy households.

• Social Security is as American as a Promise

• Medicare & Medicaid are as American as Looking Out for One Another

• Protecting Our Children is as American as Building a Future

• Veterans’ Benefits are as American as Service and Sacrifice
