This demonstration, titled “An Urgent Conversation with the American People,” was livestreamed across various platforms, aiming to oppose the Republican-proposed 2026 budget plan. The lawmakers criticized the budget for proposing significant cuts to essential programs such as Medicaid, food assistance, and basic needs services, arguing that these cuts would adversely affect seniors, children, families, individuals with disabilities, and veterans. They contended that the budget prioritizes tax breaks for billionaires over the well-being of vulnerable Americans.  
Throughout the day, #CoryBooker and #HakeemJeffries were joined by fellow Democratic lawmakers, including Senators Chris Coons and Angela Alsobrooks, and Representatives Gil Cisneros and Gabe Amo. Civic leaders such as Reverend Dr. William J. Barber II and NEA President Becky Pringle also participated, expressing concerns over the budget’s potential impact on public education and social services. The sit-in served as a platform to amplify the voices of those potentially affected by the proposed cuts and to encourage public engagement in the legislative process.
