Today’s Action: A funded government that protects asylum seekers and women
Day 7 of Trump’s unnecessary, manipulative Christmas Shutdown. 800,000 government workers are still without pay, and funding for the Violence Against Women Act has expired. Meanwhile, Trump’s tactics of terror at the border have left a second migrant child dead and thousands more imprisoned, and the president is holding out for an additional $5 billion to fuel his racist cause further.
Democrats have done everything possible to avoid a government shutdown — and have offered solutions in both houses of Congress. Their only mistakes were supporting a plan Trump pledged to sign before reversing course refusing to fund an unnecessary, repugnant campaign-promise border wall. Make no mistake: this is entirely Trump’s shutdown, enabled by a GOP Congress and dictated by Fox News.
The new House takes charge on January 3rd, in less than a week. Which means we need Democrats to hold strong, Republicans to know we see through them, and a plan for the government that includes permanent funding for the Violence Against Women Act and not one additional cent for the gruesome tactics at the border.
Call or email your Members of Congress and urge them to:
- Reject ANY funding bill that includes additional funding for Trump’s border war or inhumane tactics against asylum seekers.
- Swiftly pass permanent funding for the Violence Against Women Act…once we have leaders in the majority who actually care about women.
Even though we get the House we want on January 3rd, we cannot become complacent. GOP leaders need to continue to hear from us — and Democrats need encouragement to hold strong against Trump’s pressure.
Don’t wait for the new year: jump on the phones today.
