The House of Representatives has recently advanced budget bills that will devastate healthcare, food access, and other basic-needs programs in order to fund tax breaks for millionaires and billionaires and sweeping deportations of longtime community members.
The House could vote in a matter of days on these historically devastating cuts that are the most extensive that Congress has ever considered.
Call or email your Representative NOW and tell them Nebraska values a healthy and supported community – not helping the wealthiest get richer. Say NO to the proposed policies that would:
- Shift huge, unmanageable costs to states to cover SNAP food support, risking loss of benefits or eligibility for the 150,000 Nebraskans utilizing the program.
- Implement additional SNAP work requirements on older Nebraskans up to age 64, and parents of children 7 and older, who are already struggling to keep food on the table,
- Slash Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act resulting in nearly 14 million people losing health insurance coverage and costs going up for the rest – one way they plan to do this is by imposing unnecessary work requirements that will cause up to 15,000 Nebraskans to lose their health care.
- Prioritize unprecedented spending for sweeping, unproductive, and harmful enforcement of long-outdated immigration laws – separating local neighbors and families, and destabilizing whole communities.
- Take the Child Tax Credit away from US citizen children with parents who are stuck in immigration limbo.
- Increase the Child Tax Credit for higher income families while leaving out at least 17 million of the lowest income children.
