Tell Congress: Reject an Immoral Budget!
Across the country, Americans want Congress to spend our tax dollars on programs that deliver what we need to thrive -- affordable health care, housing, food, and more. Yet, Congressional Republicans are trying to pass a budget reconciliation package across party lines that hands ICE and CBP even more money for their cruel and inhumane raids in our neighborhoods.
Will you write a letter to your Members of Congress today and urge them to vote NO on a deportation-focused budget reconciliation package? Congress must prioritize funding healthcare, housing, and food with our tax dollars – not more ICE cruelty or war.
We are in the middle of an affordability crisis. 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, Senate Republicans have unveiled their plan to fast-track as much as $140 billion to ICE and Border Patrol – on top of the $170 billion they already gave for immigration detention and deportation last year - with no accountability and no commonsense reforms attached.
Let’s be perfectly clear: ICE and CBP have an enormous budget now and they are using this money to terrorize our communities. For months, ICE has been on a reckless and cruel campaign: separating families, detaining children and babies, making arrests on or near school grounds, illegally entering homes, and even killing U.S. citizens in our streets. Roughly 50 people have died in ICE custody since January 2025 – the most in recorded history.
Write to 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?
