These cuts would disproportionately impact families, seniors, and children in our state, threatening access to healthcare, food assistance, and other essential services—all to finance tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy. Even worse, these cuts would harm our economy, cost hard-working West Virginians their jobs, and worsen food and health care deserts.
Take Action Today: Contact West Virginia’s U.S. Senators, Shelley Moore Capito and Jim Justice and tell them to say NO to a budget package that cuts Medicaid, SNAP, and other federal programs that help people meet their basic needs. Our elected officials must prioritize the well-being of West Virginians, not corporate interests and tax breaks for billionaires. Good policy takes time- they need to go back to the drawing board and craft a package that doesn't require everyday West Virginians to bear the cost of tax breaks for the nation's wealthiest households.
