CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE: C2EAers in D.C. this weekend combined Hill visits with nonviolent protests |
Hundreds of Campaign To End AIDS campaigners hit Capitol Hill on Tuesday, visiting virtually all 535 members of Congress with a clear message: It's time to end AIDS.
Senators, Representatives and staff told us over and over again how they'd seen media coverage of the C2EA caravans and the Four Days of Action and how much they admired the folks who fought so hard to get to Washington. The grassroots power of the Campaign to End AIDS is hitting our elected representatives hard—and it's time to keep the pressure on.
Today, the House of Representatives will try to pass a terrible budget package, with billions of dollars in Medicaid cuts aimed directly at people with AIDS, plus more cuts to programs for poor and disabled Americans.
Right now, House leaders don't have the votes to pass their destructive budget—but that could be changing as we speak. That's why every call you make today could make a difference.
Call your Representative toll-free at 888-802-1207 with one simple message:
"Vote NO on the House budget today. It's a matter of life and death for people with AIDS. We can't afford to lose Medicaid and other crucial services that keep us alive."
