House minority leader Hakeem Jeffries and Senator Cory Booker held a sit-in protest at the US Capitol against the Republican budget plan, emphasizing the risks it poses to critical support programs. This plan threatens cuts to childcare, health research, education, and assistance for the elderly. Both leaders called this a moral moment for America, arguing that the forthcoming legislation could drastically affect seniors, children, and families. Joined by other lawmakers and advocates, they stressed the importance of protecting essential social services from budget cuts that favor tax breaks for the wealthy.
We are here to expose the reckless budget scheme that threatens Medicaid and food assistance, leaving vulnerable families in jeopardy while padding the pockets of the wealthy.
Our collective voices will not be silenced in the face of an administration that prioritizes tax cuts for billionaires over essential programs that support millions.
