Partner Action: Oppose H.R. 4: Trump's Budget Rescissions Package
H.R. 4, passed by the House, is a rescission package that cancels $9.4 billion in funds approved by Congress. Initiated by the White House, it targets programs like public broadcasting ($1.1B for NPR and PBS), the Clean Technology Fund ($1.25B), global health efforts like PEPFAR ($900M), and contributions to organizations like USAID.
These cuts threaten essential programs supporting democracy, health, and economic development worldwide. The package also includes billions more for international aid, disaster relief, and refugee assistance.
👉 It’s crucial to demand that representatives oppose these harmful rescissions and protect these life-saving programs. The bill must pass both chambers by July 18th; if it fails, the administration cannot seek these cuts again.

Partner Action: Riders Rise Up to Save Transit Saturday
It's time for state legislators to get back to work to fix and FUND transit! Transit is in crisis because this Spring, the Illinois General Assembly failed to do their job and secure funding necessary to fend off 40% service cuts! Gov. Pritzker has touted a balanced budget – but a budget that lets public transit crumble is anything but balanced!
