Last year, Republicans gutted funding for food aid and healthcare programs that working folks rely on, just to give rich donors a tax cut. Now, millions of families are skipping the doctor and sending kids to school with empty stomachs. It's time to hold the GOP accountable. #ThePriceIsHigh

Fund care, not cruelty. @ips-dc.org @popdemoc.bsky.social @popdemocaction.bsky.social @epi.org just released this new calculator showing us where hundreds of billions of dollars in U.S. taxpayer money are going (family separation) vs. where they could go (education, healthcare, housing, etc.).
Graphic stating that Trump’s mass deportation bill would spend $268.9 billion and counting in U.S. taxpayer money on mass deportations through the remainder of his term. The graphic features a hand-drawn receipt and a yellow arrow pointing toward the spending figure, with the National Priorities Project at the Institute for Policy Studies branding at the bottom.Graphic arguing that the $268.9 billion spent on mass deportations could instead fund public services, including 931,963 school teachers, 1,046,926 firefighters, 11,998,386 people on Medicaid, 5,055,947 veterans’ medical care, 6,725,420 Head Start slots, 717,070 registered nurses, 118,285,865 SNAP recipients, 9,764,700 public housing units, or 6,229,702 parents receiving 12 weeks of paid parental leave. The graphic calls for reprioritizing taxpayer spending and is branded by the National Priorities Project at the Institute for Policy Studies.

These graphics from @ohparentsunited.bsky.social are a powerful example of messaging that leads with values, not fear: ✅ Names the real culprit and the harm they cause ✅ Connects ICE funding to the defunding of schools ✅ Calls for coming together to accomplish a concrete vision.
Large crowd gathered outdoors in front of a building with the words “FORWARD TOGETHER” above the entrance. The slide text reads:

“Thousands of Haitian immigrants bravely left behind violence to start new lives in Ohio.

They are important members of the community. Their children attend school, play sports, and have fun with their friends – just like every other child.”Photo of an empty classroom with rows of desks facing a green chalkboard. The slide text reads:

“Today, about 20% of children attending Springfield City Schools are immigrants. There are 1,200 children under the age of 4 whose parents are now vulnerable to deportation.

EVERY CHILD IN OHIO HAS A LEGAL RIGHT TO A PUBLIC EDUCATION, REGARDLESS OF THEIR RACE, ABILITY OR IMMIGRATION STATUS.”
Group of children and adults at a rally holding handmade signs that read “We love our immigrant neighbors,” “ICE is not cool,” and “Stay out of our schools.” The slide text reads:

“Ohio’s public schools should be places where every child is safe, welcomed and free to learn.

No child can learn when they’re afraid or hungry.

When ICE comes to a community, it makes families afraid to send their children to school – robbing students of their right to an education.”Group of adults at a protest holding American flags and signs, including one that reads “Immigrants are welcome here.” The slide text reads:

“From Cleveland to New Philadelphia to Springfield, we’re coming together across our differences to call on lawmakers to protect our schools.

Tell them to stop giving unlimited resources to ICE and start fully funding our schools.

We want our families to be safe and whole and our children to grow up free from fear – no exceptions.”
