Congress is putting together the budget that will determine whether our communities have funding for roads, health care, education, parks—and jobs. That's why your action today matters so much. Your message will ask Congress to:

• Protect the dollars, programs and services that keep our families safe and our communities strong
• Prevent painful cuts to Medicaid, education and other public services that our families and community rely on and that we provide as AFSCME members
• Increase job security for AFSCME members and other workers who face widespread layoffs due to budget shortfalls
