The request, which arrived as part of President Trump’s new budget, would amount to a roughly 40 percent increase from what the United States spent on the Pentagon this fiscal year. The administration coupled the proposal with a call for $73 billion in cuts spread across many domestic agencies, including the elimination of key federal health, housing and education programs, some of which serve minority groups and the poor.

Call Script
Hello, my name is [YOUR NAME], and I’m a constituent living abroad in [COUNTRY], voting in [CITY/STATE].

I’m calling to urge [OFFICIAL’S NAME] to vote YES on the Protect America’s Workforce Act, H.R. 2550.

The Trump administration has stripped union rights from more than a million federal workers and canceled contracts for hundreds of thousands more. Congress must restore these rights and protect workers from executive overreach.

This bill is essential for workplace fairness and democratic accountability. Please support it.

$Screenshot of Nytimes article “The Big Five private universities with the largest endowments — Harvard, Yale, Stanford, Princeton and M.I.T. — should have the most room to maneuver. Their endowments, each valued at over $20 billion, have grown around tenfold (after inflation) over the past 40 years while enrollment has increased only by a fraction. Even universities with endowments valued over just $5 billion, on average, spend less than 5 percent of that each year. If they won’t spend their wealth to defend their academic missions, what are they hoarding it for?”$
