National Mass Call: Federal Funding Fight & Community Protection

Working families are being sold out while billionaires get tax breaks—and now a shutdown is on the table. This national briefing will outline what’s at stake in the budget showdown, how Trump’s MAGA bloc is driving the crisis, and what we can do together to protect our communities.

What: National mass call on the federal funding fight (update + organizing plan)

When: Wednesday, October 1, 8:30 PM ET / 5:30 PM PT

Where: Online (registration required)

Hosts: Fair Share America, Indivisible, MoveOn, Public Citizen, Working Families Power, People’s Action, Women’s March, and more

Why this matters (brief):

• After months of tax giveaways to billionaire backers, Trump and Congressional Republicans are refusing to negotiate on a budget that lowers healthcare costs.

• The regime has floated illegal cancellations of community funds and threatened more federal worker firings if the government shuts down.

• We deserve a budget that meets our healthcare needs and reins in lawlessness; this call shares the plan to push back.

Accessibility note: This event conflicts with Yom Kippur due to the shutdown timeline. It will be recorded and shared with anyone who can’t attend live and wants to watch later.
