URGENT: Hold Congress Accountable for Cuts to SNAP

Despite rising food prices and financial uncertainty plaguing low-income American families, President Trump and Republicans in Congress enacted a budget and tax law (H.R. 1) that made historically harmful cuts and structural changes to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).

Take action today and add your name to the petition.

URGENT: Put an end to ICE funding

Funding for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) expires on February 13. Congress has the power to decide whether to continue funding enforcement operations. Please tell your senators to end funding for ICE.

URGENT: Tell your senators enough is enough

In the wake of the most recent violence, we urge you to add your name to this message to senators that it is time to rein in ICE and protect our communities from unwarranted aggression and force.

URGENT: Stand with refugees and immigrants

With the ongoing refugee ban continuing into the new year, millions of people have been left without a safe place to call home. We know that humanity thrives when we stand in unity and support one another; we all suffer from divisive lines drawn in the sand. 

Today, we encourage you to take a stand for refugees and immigrants who need our support more than ever. 

URGENT: Advocate for a refugee admissions goal that reflects humanitarian values and responds to global need

September is a critical month for advocacy in support of the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program (USRAP) and for all those who have been left stranded by the ongoing refugee ban. The federal fiscal year is ending. Before October 1, the administration is required to consult with Congress and establish a new target for refugee admissions for the coming year.

Now is an urgent time to call on our elected leaders to urge support for the refugee resettlement program and ensure it protects the most at-risk refugees around the world.

URGENT: Tell Congress: Stop the Cuts to Humanitarian Aid

Humanitarian aid is less than 1% of the federal budget, yet it saves lives, promotes global stability, and strengthens our own security and economy. Despite its impact, the administration continues to target these programs with devastating cuts. Now, even deeper reductions are on the table for the upcoming fiscal year. Urge Congress to reject these cruel cuts and protect vital humanitarian aid.
