On Saturday, July 26, families, essential workers, and community leaders in all 50 states will take to the streets in a national day of action to fight back against deep cuts to healthcare, food assistance, and education and the escalation of immigrant raids and political scapegoating. The Families First mobilization will include events across the country, uniting thousands of people, parents, grandparents, immigrants, caregivers, children, and faith leaders, rising up to say: enough.

“We are hearing from families across the country who are reeling, scared, and angry about the suffering this big bill will unleash on our loved ones. These cuts will take away access to food, medicine, and essential care, and some have already had loved ones disappeared by ICE,” said Ai-jen Poo, Executive Director of Caring Across Generations and President of the National Domestic Workers Alliance.“That’s why on July 26, we’re coming together to say: Our families come first. And we’ll continue showing up for one another and to stop this cruelty. Thousands of families will join events in communities across the country, to make sure no one is left behind and to demand a future where everyone can live and care for their loved ones with dignity.
