Sign the Petition From Common Cause
President Trump is acting like a dictator. He's trying to single-handedly gut the government - with a reckless, vague, and unconstitutional order that will derail critical lifelines for Americans in need, including: [1]
Medicaid (reports indicate that reimbursement portals went down in all 50 states) [2]
Food assistance programs like SNAP
Financial aid for students
Housing for homeless veterans
Low-income heating assistance
Cancer research and HIV/AIDS prevention
Right now, journalists and members of Congress alike are scrambling to confirm which of these services are still running, and which are shut down. And most disturbingly, so are the millions of Americans who depend on these programs.
That's no accident either. Trump has clearly decided to govern by chaos in his second term, consolidate power piece by piece, and gamble with our livelihoods to push the limits of his power. We won't stand for it.
Sign the Petition: Trump can't slash funding for programs that millions of Americans depend on. Congress already passed a law appropriating this funding - and must stand up to Trump's power grab.
