-Cut SNAP by $230 billion
-Cut Medicaid by $880 billion
-Give $1.1 trillion to the top 1%

Ida Wells was born enslaved but refused to live in fear. She wielded the power of the press to expose America’s greatest terror—lynching. When the truth made her a target, she didn’t back down. She co-founded the NAACP, fought for Black women’s voting rights, and left a legacy of resistance!
