STOP CUTS TO THE
BUDGET THAT NEGATIVELY IMPACT ILLINOIS' LOW-INCOME
FAMILIES! JOIN THE ILLINOIS HUNGER COALITION FOR FEDERAL
BUDGET ACTION DAY ON TUESDAY, MACH 8!!!!
Why This Matters:
Congress will be working with the President’s proposed
budget, which recommended cuts in food stamps, WIC,
Medicaid, childcare, and other programs vital to Illinois
residents.
What You Can Do:
Ask your Senators and Representatives to vote against
any budget that cuts funding for food stamps, WIC,
and other nutrition programs, Medicaid, public education,
job training, housing, and other essential services.
Tell them to oppose any budget that cuts basic services
now or sets rigid caps that cut more programs each
year. Tell them these cuts will hurt Illinois.
Why This is Urgent:
The House and Senate Budget Committees are expected
to draft their budget resolutions starting the week
of March 7.
Who You Can Call:
| Illinois Senators: |
|
| Dick Durbin |
(202) 224-2152 |
| Barak Obama |
(202) 224-2854 |
