Keep Your #HandsOff!

On April 5, 2025, over 3 million people attended #HandsOff events to protest the GOP's plan to gut life-saving services by $880 billion dollars! Although the GOP claimed they're worried about the debt, Trump and Pete Hegseth have promised $1 Trillion military budget, which is a record amount. They want to reinstate the #GOPTaxScam that makes billionaires and large corporations richer, and they've dramatically increased their "border security" budget, despite them knowing that they're often deporting people who are not guilty of any crime and were here legally, some of whom have permanent resident status. To offset their own plans to spend ridiculous amounts of money for unworthy causes, they want to raid Medicaid, CHIP (the Children's Health Insurance Program, & other vital services. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office did the math and told the GOP that if they pass the House's disastrous budget bill, it will mean that the tens of millions of Americans who rely on popular, critical programs they need to survive will have to be slashed dramatically. House Speaker Mike Johnson had to delay a vote on the House budget because he didn't have the votes, but we have to keep telling them their bill would hurt the sickest and poorest among us & leave countless Americans uninsured. !2 states have laws that require them to opt out of Medicaid expansion if federal reimbursement falls below a certain number. Hospitals and public health clinics have said they would be forced to close if Medicaid is cut.
