Target: United States Congress
Goal: Urge Congress to immediately reverse the federal budget cuts to Medicaid, housing, and food assistance, and to halt the expansion of funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
Santa Clara County, the most diverse county in the Bay Area, is facing unprecedented threats to its healthcare system and social safety net due to the new federal budget law. This law drastically reduces Medicaid funding, which supports the county's hospitals and provides critical care for low-income families, seniors, and people with disabilities. These cuts will result in crowded emergency rooms, longer wait times, and preventable deaths.
Meanwhile, the budget increases funding for ICE, further endangering immigrant communities and diverting resources from essential services. Cuts to housing and food assistance will push more people into homelessness and hunger, while the most vulnerable—including people with disabilities—will lose life-saving support.
Local and state governments cannot fill the gap left by these massive federal cuts. We demand that Congress take immediate action to reverse these harmful policies and prioritize the health and dignity of all people over punitive enforcement and austerity.
Key Demands
- Reverse all federal budget cuts to Medicaid, housing, and food assistance programs.
- Restore and expand funding for public healthcare systems, including MediCal in California.
- Halt the increase in funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and redirect those funds to community services.
- Protect and expand disability benefits and supports for people with disabilities.
- Ensure transparency and community input in all future federal budget decisions impacting essential services.
