Democrats are in D.C., ready to negotiate on a budget that protects your health care and lowers your costs.

As Trump continues his authoritarian power grab by militarizing cities, your voice is critical. Contact your local leaders to demand protection of local autonomy and democratic rights. indivisible.org/camp...
