The Trump administration is slashing Job Corps—a program that helps marginalized youth build careers. Young people who are already pushed to the edge by poverty, classism, and lack of opportunity—across race and background—are being targeted. Meanwhile, prison funding is going up. seiu.co/3FH5kWP

Republicans want to justify their proposed budget cuts for vital programs and services, including Medicaid. But we won’t let that slide. There’s NO good excuse to rip healthcare and affordable housing away from millions of children, seniors, and people with disabilities who rely on it.

@adams.house.gov remembers what it was like before Medicaid—she’s fighting so others don’t have to. Today, millions still suffer—like Laura, a Charlotte airport worker who relies on Medicaid to survive & care for her daughter. Medicaid saves lives. Cutting it is a betrayal. seiu.co/43gB0vm

🚨 Trump’s “budget” is a full-blown attack on working people. ❌ Slashes Medicaid, food aid & school meals  ❌ Kills millions of jobs & guts clean energy  ❌ Hands $4.5T in tax cuts to billionaires  ❌ Destroys union rights & health care access This is a betrayal of working people—we won’t be silent.

The just passed House GOP bill sacrifices Medicaid and critical programs that working families rely on, only to fund tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy and supercharge family separations and even more detentions of students and immigrant workers. We won’t back down.
