From Friends Committee on National Legislation:

H.R. 1, the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” is misleading in name. It marks the U.S. federal government’s deliberate rejection of the basic pillars that support strong communities: access to food, healthcare, economic opportunity, and responsible stewardship of our environment. We call on Congress to honor the Light within all of God’s creation and reject this path.
The bill proposes the largest reduction to nutrition assistance in the nation’s history, punishing parents already navigating low wages, rising costs, and childcare gaps. Instead of relief, it offers a maze of bureaucratic red tape—just to feed their children. An estimated three million adults would lose this critical lifeline, and one million children would face a greater risk of hunger. And yet the bill offers nothing to ease the burden of working families.
It rips health care from nearly 14 million people—many just above the poverty line, many already managing chronic illness. And the bill’s tax provisions favor those already thriving. Major investments indulge the war industry. Everyday people will shoulder the consequences.
Poverty is a calculated public policy decision.
