Tell Your Member of Congress: Say NO to Extreme Cuts That Could Hurt Our Families!
Will you urge Congress to say no to extreme budget cuts that could hurt our families?
Working people deserve a budget that creates good jobs and protects families, not another shutdown.
Here are the top 10 proposed cruel cuts:
- Rip $750 million away from Head Start programs, meaning 82,000 children will lose access to Head Start.
- Cut 80% of programs that impact 26 million low-income students, slashing 226,000 teacher positions.
- Eliminate programs that train workers for jobs and provide entry into the workforce for millions of workers.
- Slash funding to the Women’s Bureau at the Department of Labor.
- Cut nearly $100 million to the National Labor Relations Board, funding that holds big corporations accountable.
- Cut substantial funding to agencies that protect our health and safety on the job.
- Repeal parts of the Inflation Reduction Act, cutting $103 billion and causing the immediate stoppage of infrastructure projects that help local communities.
- Gut transportation funds that are building the infrastructure to make commuting more accessible and affordable and create hundreds of thousands of good jobs.
- Slash critical safety resources while rebuilding low-income housing with little regard to health hazards and toxins, threatening the health of thousands of children.
- Drastically reduce funds to programs that tackle poverty by providing nutrition to millions of families and children.
