Want to know what you can do? Feeling extra angry about all of the chaos and cruelty?

We get it.

When it comes down to it, we know we're going to lose some fights. It sucks and it's real. But we lose ALL the fights that we give up on.

 

Keep calling!    U.S. Capitol Switchboard: 202-224-3121

5/22/25 House Republicans pass Trump’s big bill of tax breaks and program cuts after all-night session

Whether we stop the reconciliation bill in the Senate or in the House, there’s no doubt we can still win this fight! But we’ll need to ratchet up pressure on both chambers right now.

Here are some tools from our friends at Indivisible to contact our Senators: 

• Call your Republican senator(s) immediately; tell them to stop the cuts to Medicaid, SNAP, and other vital programs.
• You can also use this tool to send them an email. 

House Republicans’ Budget Plan Sets Stage for Largest Cuts to Medicaid, SNAP in Programs’ History

Call your Senators and your House Reps about the chaos in our federal government. Dedicated public servants are being pushed out of their jobs, and that hurts all Pennsylvanians and everyone across the country. If we don't demand our representatives speak out, there's basically a 0% chance that they will. Stay on the phones and remind them that they work for US, not Trump or Elon Musk.

Comment on your representatives' social media posts!

• Are they posting photo ops and talking about how great they are while ignoring your calls? Let' em know how you feel about that on their official social media feeds. Take screen shots and share 'em with us! You can also tag us, or send your screenshots to organizing@actiontogethernepa.org

Show our strength in numbers. Take these actions with a simple click!

Petitions show our strength in numbers and build people power! Here are three that address big issues:

• Tell Trump & the GOP Congress NO CUTS to Medicaid and SNAP: https://actionnetwork.org/pet.../12-2024-no-cuts-to-medicaid

• • These cuts impact REAL PEOPLE. Share your Medicaid story here: https://bit.ly/medicaidnepa 

  • Tell Congress: Protect Planned Parenthood Health Center Patients. Stop all attempts to "defund" Planned Parenthood:  https://www.weareplannedparenthoodaction.org/nNu9hUhnT0O8WumRoh3zDw2?sourceid=1018645&ms=4NINzzzzzX1ANz

• Tell Congress, Stand up to Trump's illegal funding cuts: https://actionnetwork.org/.../tell-congress-stand-up-to...

• Sign the Petition - Fire Elon Musk: https://bit.ly/atnepa_fireelonmusk

• Protect the right to dissent. Tell your Representatives to remove the provision threatening nonprofits from the tax bill: https://action.aclu.org/send-message/dissent

• Stand with Immigrants: 

  • Take the Solidarity Pledge https://www.solidaritypledge.org/?source=NEPA

    • While some choose cruelty and chaos, we choose community. While some choose hate, we choose love. While some choose to separate families, remove teachers from their classrooms, and remove workers from their communities, we choose to protect all those people who make up the places we call home. To do that, we’re building a strong and sustainable movement to defend ourselves and our neighbors. Join the movement by taking the pledg, then sign up for ways to take local action.
