Don’t Cave For a Promise
Senate Democrats
Democrats cannot reopen the government by abandoning the people they were elected to protect.
Millions of Americans rely on the enhanced ACA premium tax credits to afford health care. Failing to extend them — while cutting a deal to end the shutdown — would be a betrayal of working families, small business owners, and seniors across this country.
We are calling on every Democrat in Congress: Hold the line.
Reopen the government — but not at the expense of affordable care.
If you vote for a deal that leaves families paying more for coverage:
we will not donate
we will not volunteer
and we will not vote for you.
Courage, not compromise, is what this moment demands.

We are calling on you to hold the line.
As the government shutdown drags into its 40th day, Americans are paying the price — not just through closed offices and lost paychecks, but through deepening insecurity about their health care and their future.
Now, some in Congress are preparing to vote to reopen the government without extending the enhanced ACA premium tax credits that millions of Americans depend on to afford health insurance. That is unacceptable.
We will not donate to, volunteer for, or vote for any member of Congress who votes to reopen the government on these terms. If leadership continues to treat our health care as a bargaining chip, we will withdraw our support entirely and expect the election of a new Senate leader.
We’ve witnessed this playbook before — “compromise” that leaves working families paying more while protecting corporate profits. We expect better from Democrats.
We expect courage.
We expect integrity.
We expect you to fight for us.
Reopen the government — but not by abandoning the people who depend on affordable care.
Reopen the government — and protect the ACA subsidies that keep millions of families covered.
Reopen the government — but only if you stand for the people who sent you there.
If you abandon us now, we will abandon you in 2026.
We will not volunteer for you.
We will not vote for you.
We will not donate to you.
You work for us and our labor elects you.
Sign your name. Rise up for health care and the people you represent. Hold the line.
