Advocacy Tools to Respond to Trump Budget

From Coalition on Human Needs:

CHN has set up a resources page for the 2019 budget where you can find excellent analyses collected from across our member organizations and beyond about the President's budget proposal and how it will affect your communities.  We keep adding more, so check back periodically.  Some of what you'll find there is also listed below. CBPP has put together a blog with a round-up of CBPP’s analysis and commentary on the budget. CAP's Talk Poverty project has excellent resources that you can explore and make use of. FRAC's legislative action center will have their reaction to the budget along with an analysis of the impact on food programs that the President's budget is proposing. Fight back: Write to your Representative and Senators, using CHN's easy-to-use online tool,demanding that basic human needs programs are protected, fully funded, and not subject to cruel restrictions such as "work requirements." (Please share this action with your networks too!) Take the fight to social media! Center for American Progress has helpfully put together a social media toolkit to help advance our message of #HANDSOFF. You can also check out CBPP’s toolkit for responding to the President’s budget, which includes talking points, graphics, sample social media posts, and suggestions for how to continue your activities throughout the congressional recess next week. You can also find local events through CAP's resistance near me website (town hall meetings during the recess, rallies, etc.).
