Budget Cuts Threatening Vulnerable Communities

The proposed budget resolution for fiscal year 2025 is expected to be up for a vote tonight. This resolution outlines federal revenue targets and spending allocations, significantly increasing national defense funding and providing tax cuts for the wealthy while slashing vital social safety nets such as Medicaid, SNAP, and income security programs. These devastating cuts will leave millions of children, seniors, veterans, and people with disabilities without the essential support they need to survive, worsening systemic inequities and deepening suffering in our communities.
