Make Florida for the living, too. Call Senator Bill Nelson
Heads up: Congress is debating a budget plan that would be devastating to Florida. Will you pass this along?
Senators Bill Nelson and Marco Rubio need to hear from all of us about it right now, before they cut a deal in the next few days.
Please spread the word about all of these proposed cuts to Florida:
- $64 million would be cut from federal funds for clean and safe water in Florida.
- 6,100 Florida children would be immediately cut from Head Start, which provides comprehensive early childhood development services for at-risk children ages zero to five.
- $368 million would be cut from Pell Grants, affecting all 565,000 higher education students with those grants in Florida.3
- Job training and employment services would be effectively eliminated for 5,700 dislocated workers, 6,000 low-income adults, and 15,000 youths age 14 to 21.
- $9.6 million would be cut from law enforcement assistance, taking cops off the beat.
It's especially galling when the same budget protects tax breaks for corporations like GE and the very rich.
Just last night the news broke that Congress may be close to striking a deal on the budget. Now is the only time we can influence the outcome.
Can you call Senator Nelson and ask them to oppose these cuts in the budget? You can pick one of the cuts in this list to highlight in your call.
