InstagramVote In Or Out 🇺🇸 on Instagram: "On Sunday, April 27, 2025, #CoryBooker and #HakeemJeffries led a sit-in protest on the steps of the U.S. Capitol, commencing at sunrise. 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.  #CoryBooker #HakeemJeffries #USCapitolSitIn #MedicaidCuts #FoodAssistance #PublicEducation #SocialServices #2026Budget #LivestreamProtest #DemocraticLawmakers — Help this information get to more voters. 🇺🇸 A well-informed electorate is a prerequisite to Democracy.—Thomas Jefferson We sat down to urge Americans to stand up repost @repjeffries"596 likes, 10 comments - voteinorout on April 27, 2025: "On Sunday, April 27, 2025, #CoryBooker and #HakeemJeffries led a sit-in protest on the steps of the U.S. Capitol, commencing at sunrise.

InstagramResist + Rise Up Movement ✊🏽✊🏼✊🏾 on Instagram: "Senator Cory Booker and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries have initiated a historic bicameral sit-in protest on the steps of the U.S. Capitol this Sunday morning, April 27, 2025. This unprecedented demonstration marks the first time members from both chambers of Congress have jointly engaged in such a public act of protest. The sit-in, which began shortly after 6 a.m., is being livestreamed across multiple platforms, including YouTube and Instagram, allowing constituents and the broader public to witness the event in real-time. The lawmakers are using this platform to engage in open discussions about pressing national issues, particularly focusing on recent budget proposals and their potential impacts on American society. Senator Booker emphasized the moral imperative of the moment, stating, “This is a moral moment in America. Sitting on the Capitol steps with Leader Hakeem Jeffries this morning to discuss what’s at stake with Trump’s budget and affirm the need for bold action.” This protest follows Senator Booker’s recent 25-hour marathon speech on the Senate floor, where he set a new record for the longest continuous speech in the chamber’s history. The speech was a direct response to policies proposed by the Trump administration, highlighting concerns over social security, education, and immigration. The ongoing sit-in has garnered attention from various media outlets and the public alike, with many viewing it as a significant moment in contemporary American political activism. As the protest continues, it serves as a platform for dialogue and a call to action on issues the lawmakers deem critical to the nation’s future."886 likes, 87 comments - resist.riseup.movement on April 27, 2025: "Senator Cory Booker and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries have initiated a historic bicameral sit-in protest on the steps of the U.S. Capitol this Sunday morning, April 27, 2025.
