Donald Trump and Republicans in Congress are pushing the country towards a government shutdown, higher ACA premiums, and possibly massive mandatory cuts to Medicare by putting tax breaks to billionaires over essential services for families.
On Tuesday, September 30th, hours before the government is expected to shut down, Fair Share America and partners will hold a rally to hear from elected leaders and people across the country about the real human cost of the Republican tax and budget agenda.
Join us as we call for a fair tax system and a budget that invests in working families, not one that gives huge tax cuts to the richest and big corporations.
