Congressional Republicans are advancing their plan to cut funding for food assistance, Medicaid, and other vital programs to make room for trillions in tax cuts. This plan offloads human needs responsibilities onto states and DC, forcing harmful tradeoffs and deep service cuts. These cuts will harm DC residents with low incomes and the local economy, both of which are already struggling. While uncertainty remains about how much harm Congress will cause, that harm will undoubtedly and disproportionately fall on Black and brown people with the fewest resources.

Join the DC Fiscal Policy Institute (DCFPI) for Federal Threats Watch: How the GOP Spending Plan Will Raise Costs for DC Families.
