call to action for SEPTEMBER 24, 2025

Background

This is it: We’re just a week away from a potential federal government shutdown, and now is the time for Senate Democrats to hold the line against cruel GOP spending cuts—and against Trump’s lawless refusal to abide by budget agreements.

Federal funding runs out on September 30—and Republicans need Democratic votes to avoid a shutdown. Democrats have a strong hand to play. They must use it to deny Trump the blank check that Republicans want to hand him.

Back in March, Chuck Schumer and a handful of other Democratic Senators rolled over and let Trump weaponize federal funds to rob our services, militarize our cities, and terrorize our communities. This time, Senate Dems have pledged to fight.

Our job? Remind Senators Padilla and Schiff that we cannot hand blank checks to a wannabe king—and urge them to keep pressuring Schumer to fight for real limits on Trump’s cruel, lawless weaponization of our government.

Call Your U.S. Senators

Alex Padilla | 202-224-3553 (D.C.) or 415-981-9369 (local)

Adam Schiff | 202-224-3841 (D.C.) or 415-393-0707 (local)

Sample Script

Hi, I'm a constituent from [your zip code]. My name is [your full name].

I'm calling about the government funding fight that's unfolding in Washington ahead of the September deadline to prevent a shutdown. I’m very grateful to Senator [senator’s name] and to other Democrats who held the line to block Trump’s funding plan in back March. But we can't have a repeat of that episode. When Chuck Schumer and other Democratic Senators rolled over and voted for a partisan Republican spending bill, it was infuriating!

I’m counting on you to hold strong and push Leader Schumer to fight for a spending bill that protects healthcare AND puts meaningful checks on Trump's lawless weaponization of our government.

Thank you for your time and consideration.
