We can’t let this stand. Donald Trump officially declared his war
on the poor when his administration released its proposed budget calling
for more than $7 billion in cuts to the Department of Housing & Urban
Development (HUD).
These cuts will be an absolute disaster for our communities. Hundreds
of thousands of people rely on essential housing programs like Section
8 and community development grants. Trump’s housing cuts will devastate
these programs.
Defunding housing programs, while giving billions of dollars in tax breaks
to Wall Street, is an insult to our poorest communities. It’s immoral
and unjust. Instead of cutting funding to HUD, we need to fully fund it.
Sign the petition to Secretary of HUD Ben Carson demanding that he stop
Trump's cuts to HUD, and instead call for full funding of federal
housing programs.
Keep fighting,
