Tell our Members of Congress to STOP the Big Ugly Budget Bill
Call BOTH of your Senators.
Call ONE of the Representatives. Note: only one of these Congressmembers represents you. Find out which one here.
Call Script
My name is __________. I am a constituent, and my zip code is _______. I am a member of Indivisible SF.
I urge the Representative to do everything in their power to stop the budget bill, which will cut Medicaid while massively funding ICE and giving handouts to billionaires.
Background
The Big Ugly Bill narrowly passed the Senate with Vance breaking the tie. Although some atrocious provisions were removed, the bill still cuts Medicaid and drastically increases funding for ICE. Passage of this bill will close rural hospitals and deprive the poor of services, while its transfer of wealth to the rich poses serious dangers to our economy across the board. This is a dangerous moment - but we still need to fight.
The bill now faces consideration in the House. It can still be defeated, and we need to urge our Representatives to do everything possible to stop it. We also need to continue phonebanking to red states to get voters there to call their representatives to stop the bill.
The Big Ugly Bill is highly unpopular, and most voters as well as politicians agree that it is a terrible policy. It is taking all of Trump’s political capital and authoritarian power to get it passed. We need to do everything possible to defeat it.
This Week's US Congressional Call Scripts:
The Office of Management and Budget is now proposing a wide-ranging rule that would subject all federal grant-making to political loyalty criteria, superseding any scientific advice. Call or write your elected representatives to raise their awareness of your concerns.
Tell your representatives to reject the violence happening at Delaney Hall (NJ) and detention centers around the country, including here in California (Adelanto).
Demand your Congressmember hold hearings on the unlawful reorganization of the US Forest Service.
Tell your representatives that they must refuse to cooperate in any way with the MAGA regime. And then come join us or one of the other organizations in the resistance movement!
Tell your representatives: DO NOT RE-AUTHORIZE FISA702 WITHOUT AMENDMENTS
MAGA Republicans hope to pass the first step of an updated ‘Reconciliation 2.0 Bill’ on the Senate floor this week. Their stated goal is to have it ready for Trump's signature by June 1. So we need to move fast to build opposition and resistance to one-party rule.
The section 702 of FISA (foreign intelligence surveillance act) was passed in 2008 as a counterterrorism measure, but it has a long history abuse because it. Tell Congress to reject reauthorization until it gets reformed!
Over the course of several days, Trump has made repeated, unequivocal threats to commit war crimes. Tell Congress to do its job and hold the executive branch to account!
Our Senators are standing with us.
Congress must hold the Trump/MAGA regime in check, and that includes defending broadcasters’ right to report the news and commentators’ opinions freely and our right to be well informed
