As American As

Protect Our Safety Programs

 
Social Security, Veterans’ benefits, Medicaid, Medicare, SNAP and other social safety net programs are at risk of being cut from the federal budget. But the safety of our people and our children are not partisan issues. They are as American as our democracy, the Constitution, and yes — even apple pie. 
These fundamental values should never be bargaining chips as elected officials shape federal policies and agencies. The quality of life of our elderly, our children, our veterans, and our most vulnerable neighbors are non-negotiable when it comes to cuts.

Commonwealth Court Judge Renee Cohn Jubelirer found that the state hasn’t fulfilled its constitutional obligations to students in the poorest school districts, writing in a nearly 800-page ruling that the state is violating those students’ rights to what should be a “comprehensive, effective, and contemporary” education.
