#DirtyBudget | Our Biggest Ask of the Day
Keeping a steady drumbeat against poison pill riders
___________________________________________

Congress is extending the federal funding deadline for a few weeks, so we must stay vigilant against the constant threat of poison pill riders. Our community sits on the verge of a second major budget victory in a Republican-led capitol; unfortunately, we are also on the brink of a government shutdown over border wall funding. Today, we must act decisively against the poison pill riders in Trump’s #DirtyBudget by uniting around the protection of kids’ health, our public land and waters, and our cherished wildlife.
