What's at Stake?
The Senate just passed their version of the so-called "Big Beautiful Bill" - but it's actually economic sabotage disguised as fiscal policy. This legislation would:
❌ DEVASTATE PROGRAMS OUR STUDENTS & FAMILIES DEPEND ON:
- Slash education funding that supports our schools and students
- Cut $1 trillion from Medicaid - forcing New York to choose between funding schools or healthcare
- Eliminate food assistance through massive SNAP cuts, leaving children hungry
💰 WHILE HANDING MASSIVE TAX BREAKS TO THE ULTRA-WEALTHY:
Why This Matters to You
As educators, we see every day how federal programs support our students and communities:
- Many of our students rely on Medicaid for healthcare
- Families depend on SNAP to put food on the table
- Federal education funding helps our schools serve students with the greatest needs
When these programs are cut, the burden shifts to states - meaning less money for our schools and higher costs for the families we serve.
