#CuresNotCuts
Under the Continuing Resolution passed on September 30, Congress has until midnight ET on Friday, November 17, 2023 to pass funding for Fiscal Year 2024 (FY24).
Rather than barreling toward another potential shutdown when this stopgap measure expires, it is time for members of Congress across the political spectrum to recommit to the security, prosperity, and health of the American people by passing an updated spending plan.
Your voice matters — as the House and Senate are considering FY24 funding, make sure Congress knows Americans want #CuresNotCuts!
