MEMBER OF CONGRESS, I urge you to vote NO on the current proposed budget reconciliation package. At a time when many are struggling to earn a dignified living, retire safely, or afford the roof over their head, Congress must prioritize funding health care, housing, and food with our tax dollars – not more ICE cruelty.
-----
Our faith calls us to welcome the sojourner and care for our neighbor. And across the country, Americans want Congress to spend our tax dollars on programs that deliver what families need now -- affordable health care, housing, food, and more. But Congressional Republicans are trying to pass a budget reconciliation package that gives ICE and CBP more than $70 billion in additional funding for their cruel and inhumane arrests in our neighborhoods.
Will you Call your Members of Congress TODAY and urge them to vote NO on a deportation-focused budget reconciliation package?
Working families and seniors are barely getting by as the cost of health care, food, gas, and electricity rise at a record pace. Instead of working to lower the cost of everyday essentials, federal lawmakers are voting this week on a plan to fast-track $70 billion more to ICE and Border Patrol without ensuring meaningful reforms or accountability for the agencies, and this is on top of the $170 billion they already gave them for immigration detention and deportation last year!
ICE and CBP are using the enormous budgets to cause enormous harm to our communities: separating families, detaining families with children, making arrests near school and church grounds, entering homes without judicial warrants, and evading accountability for the shooting of U.S. citizens in our neighborhoods. Roughly 50 people have died in ICE custody since January 2025 – the most in recorded history.
Call your Members of Congress TODAY and tell them to prioritize funding for health care, housing, food and other essentials with our tax dollars, not ICE violence. Ask them to vote no on this reconciliation bill!
