Today’s Action: Stop Trump’s Wall and #DefundHate
We are quickly approaching a showdown: us versus Trump, over his racist, base-baiting border wall.
Congress has until December 21 to pass a funding bill and avoid government shutdown. The issue: Trump wants it to include a $5 billion budget for a Mexico border wall PLUS additional funding to support his tear-gassed-toddler, child-prison immigration policy.
While the Republican-controlled House approved a wall budget of $5 billion, Senate Democrats held their version of the bill at $1.6 billion (which is $1.6 billion too much, and we’ll work on that). But with a Democratic-controlled House arriving on January 3rd, Democrats now have more leverage to block the Trump’s primary symbol of xenophobia and hatred.
We’re about to enter a new era in the Trump presidency, in which he doesn’t get to bully Congress into everything he wants. We made our feelings clear at the polls, and it’s now time for Republicans in Congress to understand the shift that has occurred and for Democrats to use their upcoming majority for righting the wrongs of the past two years.
But we shouldn’t wait until January 3rd, because time is not on Trump’s side right now — jump on the phones today to #DefundHate.
