WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Fair Budget Coalition,  a broad alliance of civil rights organizations, policy experts, and advocates for under-resourced communities, expressed to Senate leadership their strong opposition to the House passed budget reconciliation bill and any similar proposals under the Senate’s consideration.

The House bill and Senate cuts released to date would inflate the historic harm on working families, deepen inequality, and undermine civil rights protections, the coalition warned.

“The cuts made in the House-passed budget bill and the Senate budget cuts released to date would cause millions of Americans to lose their health care coverage and food assistance and, therefore, deepen long standing inequities by targeting health care, nutrition, and tax relief programs that millions of Black, Latino, indigenous, and low-income families rely on to survive,” the coalition wrote in a letter to Senate Majority Leader John Thune and Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer.
