CHILD CARE ACTION CENTER

Republicans just passed the Big Ugly Bill—stripping millions of families of health care, food assistance, and other basic needs, all to fund mass deportation and give tax breaks to billionaires and corporations. 

Our calls, emails, demonstrations, and actions were not for nothing – Republicans struggled to get their members on board, with hours of debate, and Democrats took our demands for action seriously: members of the Congressional Black Caucus flooded the House floor to protest the bill and just before 5am EST, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) began addressing the chamber for a “magic minute,” which allows the leader unlimited speaking time.

Families will not forget how Republicans betrayed them: because we won’t let them. Send them a message below, and also a message of thanks to the lawmakers who fought for us!
