Update on Reconciliation Bill
May 29, 2025
Last week, House Republicans passed their Budget Reconciliation bill which guts health care, food assistance, and many other necessary programs that promote an Economy for All by:
- Putting nearly 11 million people, including 4 million kids, at risk of losing food assistance under the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP);
- Taking away health insurance from an estimated 15 million people;
- Kicking 4.5 million kids off the Child Tax Credit; and
- Supercharging immigration enforcement by expanding the detention of adults and families.
As Budget Reconciliation shifts to the Senate, our mission ahead is clear: we must make our community’s opposition to this bill so loud and clear that we are impossible to ignore.
To prepare yourself to take action, join NETWORK on Tuesday, June 3 at 6:00 pm CT for an update on the Budget Reconciliation Bill and our call to action in the Senate.
Together, as faith-filled justice seekers, we can create beloved community where every person has healthcare, food, living wages, and the housing they need to thrive, not just survive.
