Good Afternoon NDD United,
I hope you are all well! Today, we wanted to take a moment to share a petition being circulated by some of our partner organizations including NDD Steering Committee Member the Coalition on Human Needs which is available here. The petition calls for a “People’s Budget” that invests in the federal programs that keep us secure at home and provide for our most vulnerable. We encourage groups that can to support the effort and get your communities activated. J Below is the text of the petition:
To: U.S. Congress
From: [Your Name]
Our nation’s budget should reflect and respond to the needs of everyday individuals and families. How we spend money says a lot about our nation’s priorities and it is vital to securing our future and our children’s future. We need a budget that not just keeps us safe and secures us but also provides opportunities and gives us all the chance to succeed.
Our nation’s budget should prioritize job creation and guarantee the longevity of vital safety nets that millions of people rely on.
Our nation’s budget should reject any move to take away funding from the policies and programs that are improving the lives of millions of vulnerable individuals and families.
Our nation’s budget should address the actual needs of our people.
