WASHINGTON, DC – On Tuesday, May 20th, the Democratic Faith Working Group, chaired by Congressman James E. Clyburn (SC-06), invited faith leaders to stand in solidarity in the U.S. Capitol House Gallery in support of Leader Jeffries and the Democratic Women’s Caucus as they shared stories about women and children who would be harmed by the proposed Medicaid and SNAP cuts in the Republican budget.
“The faith community has never waivered in calling out attacks against humanity, women, and children. That is who is bound to be penalized the most by these proposed budget cuts on healthcare and nutritional assistance,” said Congressman Clyburn. “Across traditions and cultures, people of faith are commanded to care for the least of these. My brothers and sisters in faith are here today to sound the alarm–the House Republican budget fails to care for the vulnerable, and it is incumbent upon all of us to correct this.”
