Campaign Unavailable

We're sorry, this alert is no longer available. If you would like to learn more about ways you can take action, please visit Call to Renewal.

The short explanation of this alert was:

As Christians committed to economic justice, we believe that budgets are moral documents. 

The House and Senate Budget Committees approved budgets last week that make dramatic cuts to Medicaid, Food Stamps, and countless other low-income programs while extending tax cuts and proposing new ones for the wealthiest Americans.  This week, the budgets will be discussed and voted on by the full House and Senate, with all members of Congress being able to participate. 
 
Your response to the Call to Renewal and Sojourners “Budget is a Moral Document” campaign has been overwhelming.  Almost 20,000 of you have sent e-mails to Congress in the past month, and staff on Capitol Hill report they have never seen this much constituent response about the budget.  As people of faith, we must now ramp up our efforts and send one clear message to Congress: Don’t pass a morally bankrupt budget! 

Here are the two most important things you can do.
 
Step 1
 
Call your Senators and Representative now!  Sojourners and Call to Renewal have set up a toll-free phone number for you to reach Congress.

800-707-1009

This number will connect you to the Capitol Switchboard.  Ask for your Senator or Representative by name (click here for Senators and here for Representatives to find their names).  Once you’re connected, tell them to stand up for your values by:

  • Voting YES on amendments that restore funding for Medicaid, Food Stamps, Earned Income Tax Credits, Child Care, and other key work-supports for low-income families.
  • Voting YES on amendments that repeal tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans
  • Voting NO on any budget that goes against biblical and moral principles by fattening the rich at the expense of the poor.

Step 2

E-mail Congress!
