Hand in Hand’s Statement on the Passage of the Budget Reconciliation Bill – July 2025:

Last week the President signed into law a budget reconciliation bill that will have devastating impacts for care workers, family caregivers, older adults, people with disabilities among so many others. Between cuts to Medicaid, Medicare and the Affordable Care Act, an estimated 16 million people will lose coverage over the next 9 years. These cuts, made at the expense of low-income and working people, were made so that the current administration can provide tax breaks to the ultra wealthy, and intensify its inhumane mass deportation agenda.

This legislation will cost lives. It will mean that ICE and local law enforcement agencies will have more funding and power to terrorize immigrant communities and break families apart. It is perhaps the most devastating piece of legislation to our social safety net we have seen in modern history.

We are all feeling the weight of these times— but we will not let it defeat us nor will we succumb to despair. Together, we will continue to build our care movement like we have never before.

In Los Angeles, where we are seeing the administration test out some of their most cruel tactics to kidnap our neighbors, we have witnessed an incredible surge of people coming together. People in every corner of LA are gathering, including parents, friends, coworkers and neighbors. Many of these people have never been to an organizing meeting before, let alone hosted one. One of our deepest shared values, interdependence, is mobilizing millions across the city: if they come for one of us, they come for all of us. We need each other. This spark of hope and solidarity is present all across this country.

At Hand in Hand we are clear in our commitments— we will continue to organize, protect one another, make our homes sanctuary workplaces, and we will fight like hell for a future where everyone has the care they need.
