Congress: Pass a clean budget with no riders

U.S. Congress

Congress needs to pass a funding bill by Dec. 11 to avoid a government shutdown. Some lawmakers are using this moment to push their political policy agendas through “riders” that threaten access to women’s health care and protections for working people, and that jeopardize policies created to curtail Wall Street’s power. We need to let these legislators know working families and our communities should not be damaged to make a political point.

Please implement a clean budget that invests in jobs and economic growth, and that upholds restraints to Wall Street abuses. Our economy should not be held hostage by attaching ideological riders. Protections for working people must not be jeopardized for the sake of political point-making. Please pass a clean budget—free from ideological riders.
