Trump’s budget is a fiscal “wall” meant to block people of color from accessing crucial public services.
Trump plans to spend tens of billions of dollars more on the American war machine, which will no doubt lead to more advanced, deadly, and invasive military hardware in the hands of police. All while his Attorney General, Jeff Sessions, turns a blind eye to police brutality. Trump will pay for his massive militarization by slashing SNAP, housing assistance, Medicaid, the Children’s Health Insurance Program, and many other programs that benefit low-income families and individuals of color.
But we will not stand by and allow Trump to roll back 150 years of progress. We will fight him every step of the way. We will win media wars and win back hearts and minds; win key elections and take control by mobilizing millions of people.
