In Boston, we stewarded the Better Budget Alliance (BBA), launching a city-wide #PeoplesBudget campaign to build community control over public dollars.

Budget decisions should be in the hands of the people, & resources should move toward deep solutions to our communities’ struggles. -->

We're proud of what we've accomplished & built together this fall: hosting regional gatherings, moving resources into movement, & launching new media projects...

This fall, our Boston coalition, the Better Budget Alliance, held the first ever #PeoplesBudget assembly in the city.

Families should be planning holiday meals — not worrying about missed paychecks.

Congress needs to stop the chaos and pass the #PeoplesBudget.

It’s time to get back to work.

A majority of voters reject Trump’s deadly budget because they know what’s at stake: our healthcare, schools, and safety.

‼️We need a budget that serves the people—not billionaires. Tell Congress: Pass the #PeoplesBudget now!!

The Trump admin wants you to “prove you matter” or lose Medicaid. Under their budget plan up for a vote today, millions could lose care.

Tell Congress: Protect our health. Pass the People’s Budget now!

Trump’s budget cuts aren’t just numbers on a page — they’re attacks on the systems our communities rely on.
🔻 Less health care
🔻 Less housing
🔻 Less food access
🔻 Less economic opportunity
It’s all connected. And it’s hurting the people who need support most. #StopTheCuts Pass the #PeoplesBudget

Black women are already 3x more likely to die from pregnancy-related causes.

Now Trump’s budget slashes Medicaid and maternal health funding — putting more Black families at risk.
This isn’t just cruel. It’s deadly. #StopTheCuts and pass the #PeoplesBudget

Happy Juneteenth! Today and every day, we stand with communities of color in San Francisco. You can uplift these communities with local policy, like our fight for the People's Budget: tell our city officials to FUND OUR COMMUNITIES! buff.ly/wMAxLM6 #SFPol #PeoplesBudget #Juneteenth

Senate Republicans just unveiled a bill that gives huge tax cuts to the rich—and pays for it by slashing Medicaid and ripping away healthcare from millions.

It’s cruel, calculated, and a direct attack on everyday Americans! It's time to pass the #PeoplesBudget.

Senator Joni Ernst on Trump’s deadly budget: “We’re all going to die.”

She’s right — if this bill passes, millions will lose health care, food aid, and more.

This isn’t a joke. It’s a crisis.
#PeoplesBudget

Trump’s tariffs are hurting American businesses.
Corporate profits just hit their lowest point since 2020, and working people are paying the price with layoffs and higher costs.

This isn’t strength. It’s sabotage. #PeoplesBudget

Trump just fired the nation's disaster chief—right before hurricane season.
Everyday Americans need emergency preparedness. Trump gave us tax breaks for billionaires instead.

This isn’t leadership. It’s negligence. It's time to pass the #PeoplesBudget

Every kid deserves a healthy meal — not a political fight!

🍎Trump’s budget threatens access to free + reduced school lunches for millions of children.
❌No child should go hungry in the richest country in the world.
💰It’s time for Congress to pass the #PeoplesBudget

We deserve a budget that puts people over profit — not tax breaks for billionaires.

The People’s Budget funds:

🚨 Mayor Adams is under investigation for corruption—steering jobs to friends & engaging in pay-to-play for rich donors. Meanwhile, he's slashing essential services for working-class New Yorkers. It's time to fight back. #PeoplesBudget #CareNotCuts

Join us on 2/19: actionnetwork.org/events/2025-...

I’m proud to be solidarity with the Emergency Coalition to Save Education Programs, making it crystal clear to @NYCMayor that a #PeoplesBudget is what we want, not his draconian cuts that will negatively impact the quality of life for our most vulnerable @nycschools students,…

Elmo’s heart in the right place. But he can’t do it alone. Join us + The People’s Plan in the fight 4 a #PeoplesBudget and #CareNotCuts.

One of our demands: No cuts to the provision of social services, such as housing services and health or mental health services.
