Demand Congress use its “power of the purse” to hold Trump accountable

Article 1, Section 9, Clause 7 of the U.S. Constitution says: “No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law.”

The President of the United States does not have unlimited authority to decline congressional appropriations and decide what gets funded and by how much depending on his whims and which political adversaries he wants to punish.

By hijacking congressionally appropriated funds, Donald Trump and Elon Musk (and his unqualified, unscreened team) are yanking funding from people and programs in our communities―which will have a real impact on many of our neighbors as they face frozen funding for critical human needs programs that people rely on to survive.

Congress must stand up to stop this lawless power grab.

Click here write a letter demanding Congress to defend its “power of the purse” and hold this lawless administration accountable.

Volunteering this Election: Phoning it In

October 23, 2020 @ 12:30 pm - 2:00 pm

Join the Coalition on Human Needs, National Low Income Housing Coalition, and FRAC in another volunteer opportunity for individuals who want to be an active participant in elections. Whether or not you can vote, volunteering is a powerful way to ensure those who can vote are able to do so safely and fairly. However, many people do not vote, or know critical information about how, where, and when to cast their vote. Join us in a brief training with our Reclaim Our Vote experts on how to do nonpartisan phone banking, and then help us get out the vote while we do phone banking as a group. You will be given all of the materials you need, so no experience is required.

Help us ensure all eligible voters are able to cast their vote.

Date: Friday, October 23

Time: 12:30-2:00 pm ET
