On Saturday July 26, we joined hundreds of cities across the United States in the national Families First mobilization and showed that UHW members are ready to fight for what matters most: our families, our communities, and our future. We turned out to send a clear message: OUR FAMILIES COME FIRST. NOT billionaires. NOT corrupt politicians. NOT ICE agents who are terrorizing our families and hardworking people.
Why We Mobilized
We are speaking up and taking a stand because the federal budget that Congress passed and the president signed is a robbery. The budget bill guts healthcare funding, food assistance, and public education while handing billions to corporations, immigration enforcement, and the ultra-rich. The bill is deeply unpopular with everyday Americans, yet was pushed through. It’s time to show Congress and the administration that we are the majority and that healthcare, immigrants, and our communities matter.
Next up: Labor Day Actions
This is our next major opportunity to show we’re the majority. Sign up for an action here.
