United for Progress: Resisting Harmful And Dangerous Budget Cuts

“The intent behind this demonstration is to assert our staunch dissent against reductions in social programs, widespread layoffs within the federal workforce, and the harmful policies put forth by President Donald Trump and Elon Musk,” articulated Lawrence Hamm, Chairman of the People’s Organization for Progress. “We categorically oppose their proposed threats to critical services such as Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security, SNAP, Pell Grants, and various educational departments, alongside the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and civil rights agencies,” Hamm emphasized. “POP clearly denounces the administration's discriminatory actions against Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion initiatives and their employees,” he continued. “We demand an end to Trump’s oppressive tactics targeting undocumented individuals, which merely exacerbate existing challenges while benefiting private prison investors,” Hamm asserted, highlighting the detrimental effects of fiscal cuts on working-class Americans.
