about the rally:

Republicans in Congress are holding the middle class hostage—proposing a federal budget that would would cut 700,000 to 1 million jobs from our communities and slash funding to support preschool and college students, pregnant women, unemployed workers, and much more.

This isn't a budget, it's a slap in the face to the public workers, services, and institutions making the American Dream possible.

We have until the March 18 budget deadline to push Congress in another direction.
