Thursday, 9/28 Call To Action

It is hard to believe that September is almost over and we have ALMOST survived another month with Trump being in office. This fight has been exhausting but our country and democracy are worth fighting for.

1. Tax Reform.
Not surprising that this tax reform would only benefit the wealthy, specifically Trump, his family, and his cabinet members. Republicans claim that this tax plan would cut taxes for the middle-class but that is untrue. About 20 percent of households and more than half of single parents would end up paying more in taxes. This plan is tax cuts for the rich and adds trillions of dollars to the government’s debt. And wouldn’t it be nice to see Trump’s taxes?



2. CHIP (Children’s Health Insurance Program ) expiration.
This program is set to expire on 9/30 and would have a disastrous effect on 125,000 children in MN. It helps pay for needed doctor visits and vaccinations. CHIP helps fund prenatal and postpartum care for about 1,700 low-income pregnant women who do not qualify for health care through Medicaid. Call your representatives and let them know we need CHIP.


3. EPA
The proposed Trump FY18 budget would cut EPA by 30 percent, reducing the agency’s real budget to levels not seen since the 1970s. This has many state and local leaders reeling, because they are on the front lines protecting the health of families and communities, and they depend on a strong partnership with the federal EPA. That partnership involves federal funding, legal support and scientific expertise.” Read more about it here.


4. Puerto Rico
Please continue to help if you can.
