We Have a Moral Imperative To Reclaim America From the Extremists in Power
The United States is the wealthiest, most powerful country the world has ever seen. And we’ve always had a moral tug-of-war between those who want to hoard wealth and power and those who honor the dignity of every person.
What’s happening now is that the wealthy and powerful are working to divide the people—and keep the wealth and power for themselves.
President Donald Trump and his loyal followers in Congress have begun the process of pulling back help and basic services for all Americans, especially poor and low-income people, and engaging in ongoing war and oppression. And they’re doing it all to consolidate wealth and power for themselves and their friends.

We oppose the immoral budget priorities of this president and his allies in Congress.

It’s time for a new season of moral action to mend this country and reclaim the dignity of every person.
