Dear Member of Congress,
Our nation is facing a crisis: Extreme cuts have been made to Medicaid, SNAP, and other highly popular core programs to pay for separating families, human rights abuses, and terrifying hardworking immigrants - people essential to our care workforce, our economy, our communities, our families, and our future.
Our nation needs a safe and orderly immigration process that balances compassion and security, not cuts to healthcare and not cruelty.
We urge you to secure accountability measures and scale back funding for ICE in the Fiscal Year (FY) 2026 appropriations bills. The full-year Continuing Resolution passed in March 2025 handed the Trump administration a blank check and stripped Congress of key oversight powers, hollowing out key watchdog bodies. No administration should be given unchecked power to weaponize federal dollars against communities across the nation while depriving Congress of its constitutional role in oversight.
Recent polling shows that the Trump Administration’s immigration policies are increasingly and extremely unpopular. America’s families know that immigrants are critical to our care workforce, our economy, our businesses, our families, and our communities.
Please reject proposals that pour even more money into cruelty; and also stop the cuts to health, education, nutrition, and disaster relief programs, all of which are programs that lift our families, business, and the economy.
