5/31: March to stop President Trump's Death Budget
To act-ma
*Wednesday, May 31*
*March to stop President Trump’s Death Budget**. *
*This time it’s a matter of life and death.*
*Planning Meeting** this Friday, May 19 at 2pm at Mass. Alliance of HUD
Tenants, 42 Seaverns Ave, just out of Jamaica Plain center*
The country has never seen anything like it. The president’s proposed
draconian budget cuts and tax breaks will impact every program that helps
each of us achieve a decent quality of life – and in many cases, to
maintain life itself.
*11:30am*: Assemble at Tip O’Neill Federal Building (10 Causeway St.,
Boston)
*12 noon*: Rally at O’Neill Federal Building
*12:30pm*: March to JFK Federal Building
*1:00pm* Rally at JFK Federal Building
On May 23 the President will release his full budget plan to reportedly cut
another $800 billion in mandatory spending from food stamps, Medicaid,
housing, child nutrition, SSDI, and education over 10 years. These cuts
would be on top of the $54 billion the President intends to take out of
climate protection, housing, elderly programs, worker safety and other key
programs and move into the Pentagon budget – and the $880 billion cut to
Medicaid in the health care repeal bill already passed by the House of
Representatives! All to help pay for his proposed *$5 trillion in tax cuts*,
primarily for corporations and high rollers.
*There is an alternative! *
On May 31 we will not only march against the Death Budget. We will also
promote The Peoples Budget
<https://cpc-grijalva.house.gov/the-peoples-budget-a-roadmap-for-the-resistance-fy-2018/>.
Released on May 2 by the Congressional Progressive Congress, this
comprehensive and economically sound budget can serve as the *“Roadmap for
the Resistance”.* The Peoples Budget gives us a sound * alternative budget
to fight for* that moves our country away from the human disaster awaiting
us and toward prosperity and a society in which people matter. And it holds
the line on Pentagon spending while cutting the Pentagon’s dangerous
nuclear weapons build-up. The Peoples Budget will be voted on in June.
*Join us.*
We need you and your organization to attend, publicize and endorse the May
31 march.
We encourage you to join us at the next meeting of the organizing committee
this *Friday, May 19 at 2pm* at Mass. Alliance of HUD Tenants 42 Seaverns
Ave, Just out of Jamaica Plain center.
Mass Alliance of HUD Tenants, Mass. Peace Action, AFSC and the
Massachusetts People's Budget Campaign (formerly Budget for All).
