#BudgetToProtect | Passing a CR Toolkit
 Here is your messaging guidance to prepare for the Sept 30 funding deadline 
__________________________________________________________________________________ 

Our shared purpose
To collectively secure a federal budget with the strongest investments possible and free from harmful policy riders.

Urgency
Congress must pass a continuing resolution (CR) before Sept 30 to avert a government shutdown. Additionally, Congressional leadership may try to attach a dirty deal that weakens environmental protections and fast-tracks fossil fuel projects to the CR. 

Success
Our community helps prevent poison pill policies, most notably the dirty deal, from riding on the CR while urging final budget negotiations to conclude by the end of the calendar year. 

Ask
Please amplify the need for a CR without poison pill policies (at least 2-3 posts/week)


Please let me know if you need any support or have any questions.
