Right now, Congress is considering budget legislation that would slash healthcare, food access, and other essential public services – in order to fund sweeping deportations of longtime community members and to expand tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy and large corporations.
Now is the time to tell our members of Congress that Nebraskans support stability for immigrant community members and whole communities, NOT budgets that would cut health care, take food off the table, and separate local families and neighbors who are stuck in limbo because of long-outdated immigration laws.
The harmful proposals on the table include:
- Cutting billions of dollars of funding for Medicaid & SNAP – programs that help keep communities strong and healthy.
- Slashing funding for school meals, taking away the ability for many schools in Nebraska to offer free meals in high poverty areas.
- Massive spending on sweeping and unproductive enforcement of long-outdated immigration laws that would harm local neighbors, entire communities, families, and the workforce.
Instead of slashing the programs that support our communities, you can follow the link below to call your Representative and tell them what Nebraskans need: a budget that benefits the sum of us, not just some of us.
Thank you for making your voice heard!
