The budget legislation that the U.S. House advanced before Memorial Day (the “Big, Beautiful Bill… for Billionaires”) is awful. It would undo progress we have made together over many decades of work.

The good news: The original legislation put forth was even worse. Your advocacy, calls and public actions helped block some terrible policies from moving forward.

More good news: This bill still faces opposition in the Senate, and we have the chance to stall or significantly reduce these harmful cuts. Our actions during June could make a difference in the future of our country for decades to come.

We will provide more ways you can engage in conversations about what these cuts could mean for you and your community over the coming month, as we expect the Senate to vote on this bill by July 4.

By standing together, we can help protect economic security for all Alabamians and future generations.
