CALL: No Cuts to Medicaid

Right now, Congress is considering a reckless budget package that would cut $1.5 trillion from essential programs like Medicaid. If you spoke out to protect the Affordable Care Act, we need you to speak out even louder to protect Medicaid.

Federal unions—and all unions—are under attack.

In March, the Trump administration took its most blatantly anti-worker, anti-union action yet: an executive order stripping the right to organize from hundreds of thousands of federal workers at more than 30 agencies.

Now representatives in Congress have introduced the bipartisan Protect America’s Workforce Act, which would overturn Trump’s executive order.

We are asking every single American who cares about the fundamental freedom of all workers to join a union to call their member of Congress right now.
