We live in a world that tells us to be tough.
To keep it together.
To keep pain private.
But what if the truth is that appropriate vulnerability isn’t weakness, it’s the key to unity?
The One Big Beautiful Bill just handed billions in tax cuts to the wealthy, while cutting
$863 billion from Medicaid,
up to $300 billion from SNAP,
and ending student debt relief for millions.
ICE?
They got over $100 billion.
The most painful parts? They don’t go into effect until after the 2026 midterms.
That delay is a tactic.
It’s meant to keep people quiet.
Isolated.
Disconnected.
But we don’t have to play by those rules.
When we share how this bill affects us, truthfully, clearly, and compassionately, we create connection. When we let others see what’s real for us, we remind them they’re not alone.
That’s how we build common ground.
🎯 Here’s your challenge:
Choose the cut that hits home, Medicaid, SNAP, clean energy, student loans, housing.
Record a video, one minute or less.
Tell your story.
Be honest, not performative. Be clear, not combative.
Post it on your social media. Use your voice.
Because when you speak, others might finally see.
