| When asked if there was any price tag that would make Trump’s attack on Iran unaffordable, Trump’s treasury secretary said, “absolutely not.” But when we need health care, housing, or lower utility bills, Trump and the Republicans always say we can’t afford it. We know the reason: the billionaires, CEOs, and corporate shareholders that buy off some politicians value their profits over our lives. That ain’t right. This week, we’re saying “absolutely not” to spending our health care money on the war on Iran. Use our tool to tell Congress to vote no on more money for war, and to take our money back from the billionaires. Then, use the resources below to keep the pressure on to get ICE out of our communities and keep families housed and together. Politico says the U.S. is blowing $2 billion a day on this war that working people reject. Let’s get our money back. |
| Fund Health Care, Not War on Iran Politico reports that we may be spending up to $2 billion a day on this outrageous war against Iran. Remember when Trump and his GOP allies said we couldn’t afford to keep people healthy, housed, and safe, then they gave our money to billionaires in the Big Ugly Bill? We do! Tell Congress to stop the war on Iran and fund our health care! |
| Tell Congress: Rein in ICE and Border Patrol! We are still fighting hard to get ICE and Border Patrol out of our communities–replacing one MAGA figure with another at DHS is not enough. Congress is still negotiating over the bill that funds these agencies, and legislators need to hear from their constituents. Tell your elected officials that we demand civil rights protections and for them to slash funding for ICE. Contact Congress now. |
| Keep Families Together and Housed In another desperate bid to blame immigrants for their own policy failures, Trump and HUD are trying to kick “mixed status” immigrant families out of public and subsidized housing. It’s cruel, costly, and counterproductive—kicking 37,000 citizen children to the curb during a housing crisis and wasting millions on red tape instead of keeping people housed. Add your voice: urge HUD Secretary Scott Turner to stop trying to separate families and make them homeless. |
| Support Housing Solutions, Not Cuts and Handcuffs! The rent is too damn high—and it’s only getting worse. Across the country, corporate landlords and Wall Street investors like Blackstone and JPMorgan are driving up housing costs while millions of our neighbors are being forced into homelessness. Over 255+ new laws have been introduced to criminalize homelessness since the Supreme Court’s awful Grants Pass decision. And the budget passed by the House of Representatives would make this crisis worse. Tell your representatives to fight back. |
| Help Us Keep Fighting: Donate to People’s Action The struggle for a country where we all can thrive has never been more important. Right now MAGA and the corporations funding them are assaulting our families, our freedoms, and our shared future. We will never stop working for our long-term vision of a healthy, healed country where we all have a voice, but we can’t get there without you. |
