Popular Democracy Statement On Democratic Leadership Advancing Trump’s Plans To Gut Government

“Democrats’ cooperation is capitulation”

WASHINGTON, DC— In response to the news that Senator Chuck Schumer and Democratic leadership will vote to pass Republicans’ funding bill — paving the way for billions of dollars cut in education, healthcare, and other social services — Popular Democracy Co-Executive Directors Analilia Mejia and DaMareo Cooper released the following statement:

“By stepping aside, Democratic leadership is now complicit in inflicting Trump’s dangerous budget on vulnerable communities. Millions of Americans are searching for ways to survive without life-saving care, foundational education, community investments, or even basic disaster response. Democrats’ cooperation is capitulation. This action makes all, including federal workers, more vulnerable to the rampant avarice of the GOP.”
