DC Budget Fight
Our D.C. community is under attack. Right now, anti-worker extremists are threatening to rip more than $1 billion of D.C.-taxpayer funds from our budget, all to deliver tax breaks to billionaires. We can’t let that happen.
Federal Workers
Anti-worker extremists have shut down the government because they want to take affordable health care away from 22 million Americans. Meanwhile, Trump’s director of the OMB is threatening mass layoffs during the shutdown. The attacks on federal workers are not stopping, but there is still much we can do.
