On May 22, 2025, the full House of Representatives passed their Fiscal Year 2025 budget reconciliation bill (H.R. 1, The One Big Beautiful Bill Act) on a party-line vote. The bill now moves on to the Senate for consideration and changes. As the Senate begins its process in earnest in early June, it is important to elevate our voices now in support of our key priorities in this bill. To that end, we are asking you to take action by sending letters to your Senators to advocate for our key priorities in budget reconciliation:  

• Maintain an expanded Child Tax Credit at the $2500 level or higher and ensure full refundability 
• Protect Medicaid and SNAP and ensure vulnerable individuals and families do not lose coverage or benefits  
• Ensure a strong Earned Income Tax Credit 
• Maintain and expand the charitable deduction for non-itemizers 
• Support the nonprofit sector and oppose provisions that could limit philanthropic giving 

Please encourage your federal elected officials to fight for these key priorities, and share this action alert with United Way colleagues far and wide!
