As President Donald Trump and Elon Musk continue to dismantle federal programs, House Republicans released their budget proposal this week.

Economic policy is a moral issue. The 2017 Tax Cut and Job Act (TCJA) demonstrates a troubling preference for billionaires and large corporations at the expense of everyday Americans. As a Quaker organization, we seek a world of equity and justice, a world where everyone has the same footing to reach their full potential.  

Traveling throughout the Middle East in January, FCNL’s Bridget Moix and Hassan El-Tayyab saw firsthand how the regional violence sparked by the Isarel-Gaza war was getting worse daily. Reflecting on their experience, they warned that these escalations would “continue until there is a ceasefire.”

The months that have passed since then have proven their words true and exacted an enormous human toll. Today, the region is closer to the brink of a major war than ever.

FCNL is deeply disappointed in today’s Senate vote to not move forward on The Tax Relief for American Families and Workers Act of 2024.
