The Campaign for a Family Friendly Economy
@FamFriendlyEcon
The Campaign for a Family Friendly Economy is fighting for a future where all people can afford to care for themselves and their loved ones.
✨NEW STORYBOOK✨ On The Line shares stories of Americans to emphasize how the Trump admin & Republicans in Congress are hanging families out to dry by ushering in an extreme agenda that would rip away health care & other critical support systems. familyfriendlyeconomy.org/news_stories/s…
"We can do better. We can empower working Pennsylvanians to provide critical care to their families when they need them. And we can do it in a way that benefits employees and employers, while keeping good people in their jobs." penncapital-star.com/commentary/it-…
For the first time in the history of SNAP, all eligible families might not be guaranteed benefits. "When SNAP benefits are reduced or cut off, families are more likely to be in poor health & children are more likely to be at developmental risk." pennlive.com/opinion/2025/0…
“We rely on the benefits very heavily. If we did not have the benefits, I don’t know how we would survive, because everything is really expensive," said a working mom in Bedford County, VA who voted for Trump but doesn't agree with the cuts to SNAP. wdbj7.com/2025/07/15/fee…
"Working families & child care providers like us see these challenges every day in PA. When child care programs can retain & recruit teachers, working parents have increased access to child care. This benefits employers in all industries & the overall economy."…
"If people lose their nutrition assistance, their food stamps, & are no longer able to purchase nutritious food for their families at grocery stores. They are then going to have to rely on food pantries & food banks. &, again, they’re at capacity," said @SenatorBaldwin.…
Republicans chose billionaires. We choose each other. On July 26, 50 states rise to say: -Not one more. -Not one more life traded for profit. Join us at an event near you mobilize.us/familiesfirst #FamiliesFirst #CareNotCuts
“We’re already at bare bones,” Emma Widmar says, "and now we’re taking away more from the most vulnerable populations.” Emma, from Racine, Wisconsin, has been managing complex, chronic health issues since she was 12. For her, Medicaid is a lifeline. wisconsinexaminer.com/2025/07/21/med…
310,000 Georgians are estimated to lose access to health care - thanks to the GOP tax scam bill signed into law by President Trump - all to give tax breaks to billionaires. Republicans made clear they aren't interested in looking out for working families. ajc.com/politics/2025/…
"What @RepVanOrden did do was to vote for a bill that will push an estimated 30,000 rural Wisconsinites off Medicaid and will take away food assistance from another 90,000 people in the state, 1 in 3 of whom are children." wisconsinexaminer.com/2025/07/10/u-s…
"They lied to the very people that voted for them, and that’s really a shame," said @GovernorShapiro. Republicans in Congress promised to lower costs for working families. Instead, they cut critical programs to give tax breaks to billionaires. politicspa.com/shapiro-they-l…
“We'll see people not only coming to our lines for the first time ever, but those who are using us will need more food than ever before because we will be supplementing the cuts to SNAP." 13newsnow.com/article/money/…
Clinics will close. Free clinics will be spread too thin. People will give up on trying to access healthcare at all, and @RepJenKiggans is fine with that. wvtf.org/news/2025-07-1…
Armando Vias relies on Medicaid to receive the care he needs to thrive. “For me, Medicaid covers more than just doctor visits. It helps me move through daily life...I was very angry when it passed the House and headed toward the president’s desk.” 13wmaz.com/article/news/l…
While big corporations celebrate their big tax breaks from Trump’s budget bill, Americans will see rural hospitals close, grandparents on Medicaid lose health care coverage, and hungry kids denied food assistance.
“[Julia] sees what’s at stake,” CFFE Executive Director @SGoldschein explains. “And she sees that her representative, @RepVanOrden, voted for a bill that prioritizes tax breaks for billionaires over the health and livelihood of people like her.” civicmedia.us/news/2025/07/1…
“Last week, both Rep. @RobWittman and @RepJenKiggans joined with all but two Republicans to pass the embarrassingly named One Big Beautiful Bill Act, an enormous package of tax provisions and spending that will reshape the country into a more brutal, less empathetic and less fair…
Americans can't afford child care. They’re asking for real solutions to make it more affordable. Not for leaders who obsess over birth rates or peddling motherhood fantasies. apnews.com/article/pronat…
The GOP tax scam bill will cut SNAP for more than 22 million families. On average, families will lost $145 per month in nutrition assistance. Trump & Republicans aren't looking out for families. They are looking out for the wealthy & well connected. cnbc.com/2025/07/10/tru…
After receiving a huge tax break, billionaires don't need any more help, but the small businesses in your community do. When you support them, more of your money stays in your community, too.
Two million Pennsylvanians rely on SNAP to put food on the table. @RepMackenzie, @RepBresnahan, & @RepScottPerry voted for massive cuts to the program to fund bigger tax breaks for billionaires. Now, over 100,000 people could go hungry. axios.com/local/philadel…
