#BudgetToProtect | Updated Social Media Guidance
 Here is your messaging guidance to prepare for the Dec 16 funding deadline 
__________________________________________________________________________________ 

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

Urgency
Congress has until Dec 16 to act on the federal budget, which is one of their most pressing actions in the lame duck session. Additionally, Congressional leadership may try to attach a dirty deal to this budget that weakens environmental protections and fast-tracks fossil fuel projects

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

Ask
Please amplify the need for Congress to pass a final FY23 appropriations package free from poisonous policy riders.


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