We are officially one month into the Republican shutdown. Republicans must come to the table and end this. It’s time to cancel the cuts, lower health care costs, and get federal workers their well-earned paychecks.
Thank you to the City of Seattle for joining our resource fair for federal workers. It is so important that our community comes together in this moment to rally around workers who did not ask for this and are waiting for their next paycheck.
Want to know one of the spookiest things families are facing this Halloween? Inflation and skyrocketing costs. Trump promised to lower costs. He lied, and costs are going up for almost everything — from housing to health care to lollipops.
I hosted a resource fair to help federal workers who are struggling during this Republican shutdown. Our community, local gov’t, and so many organizations have rallied around folks who need a hand. I’m grateful for their work and will continue to stand with our federal workers!
I hosted a resource fair with @cityofseattlegov and local orgs to help support federal workers during this Republican shutdown. Our communities deserve better – and I will continue fighting to cancel the cuts, to lower health care costs, and to protect our federal workers.
Chicago is not a war zone — and Trump should not be sending in the National Guard or militarizing our cities. Kevin Fee, Legal Director of ACLU of Illinois, is challenging Trump’s unconstitutional actions against Chicago and its community members in court.
Brighton Neighborhood Council Immigration Defense Coordinator Any Huamani explains how people are organizing and showing up for each other during Trump’s ongoing assault on Chicago. People are being kidnapped off the streets. This has to end now.
Juliet De Jesus Alejandre, Executive Director of Palenque LNSA, is doing remarkable work, coordinating a network of rapid responders in Chicago. As Trump works to militarize Chicago and other cities, people like Juliet are working to keep their communities safe.
I spent time packaging and passing out food at food banks to help our neighbors during this Republican shutdown. These food banks are doing incredible work as they brace for SNAP—but it doesn’t have to be this way. Trump can and should use contingency funds to keep people fed.
The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office is estimating that the Republican shutdown will cost the US economy up to $14 BILLION. Republicans are destroying our communities and our economy. It’s time to come back to the table and end this. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...
As the Republican shutdown threatens food security for so many people across our community, I visited @ballardfoodbank.bsky.social and University District Food Bank. I am so grateful to these community orgs for keeping folks fed as Trump and Republicans fail to keep programs like SNAP funded.
As Republicans plan to block SNAP funding starting Nov 1, I’m hearing a lot of folks on the right shouting “get a job”, but let’s remember: 👶39% of SNAP recipients are children 👵20% are elderly 🐄An hour of minimum wage pay barely covers a pound of beef Hope that clears things up!
Thank you, Gov Bob Ferguson, for ensuring that our food banks have the resources needed to keep people fed. Trump's refusal to utilize contingency funds to continue SNAP for the hungry—even as he bails out Argentina with $40 billion—is beyond cruel. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...
