Tell Congress: Reject Trump’s $1.5 Trillion Defense Budget

Right now, Congress is weighing a massive new defense budget proposal from Donald Trump — and the consequences for our communities couldn’t be clearer.

The White House is pushing a staggering $1.5 trillion defense budget, paired with cuts to programs that millions of families rely on. This proposal includes at least $73 billion in cuts to domestic priorities, such as climate protection, housing support, and education programs, already stretched thin and under attack.

This isn’t happening in a vacuum. Lawmakers have already backed more than $1 trillion in cuts to domestic programs under the so-called “One Big Beautiful Bill,” slashing essential support for working families, students, and vulnerable communities. Now, they’re being asked to go even further — gutting more investments at home to bankroll runaway military spending.

The U.S. already spends more on defense than the next nine countries combined. Yet instead of investing in affordable housing, clean energy, and public education, this proposal doubles down on priorities that leave everyday people behind.

Public pressure can force members of Congress to reconsider harmful policies and hold them accountable for choices that hurt their communities.

We need that pressure right now.

Your voice can help stop these cuts before they become law. By speaking out today, you’re sending a clear message to your senators and representative: stop sacrificing our future to fund excessive military spending.

Congress must reject this proposal and prioritize investments that actually strengthen our country—like education, housing, and climate action.

Add your name now and demand that your members of Congress vote NO on Trump’s $1.5 trillion defense budget.

We cannot afford more cuts to the programs our communities depend on. And we won’t stay silent while they’re on the chopping block.
