Texarkana NAACP

Meet the Branch President

Greetings,

The dire consequences of proposed federal budget cuts, which are currently occurring and are proposed by the current administration, must be addressed. We must demand that Congress prioritize people over politics. We cannot be silent in the face of budget decisions that threaten our future and the future of our children and grandchildren.

The proposed budget cuts represent healthcare, food access, education, housing, veteran’s benefits, and environmental justice. In summary, funding for social safety net programs is in danger.

This administration proposes cutting billions from Medicaid, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), and funds available for student loans. The most vulnerable populations bear the brunt of spending cuts.

Our advocacy must include sending targeted emails to legislators, calling your legislator, attending In-District Meetings During Recess, attending Town Halls, and sharing information with your church, family members, friends, and community centers.

I urge you to stay informed by signing up for ongoing updates from the NAACP at www.naacp.org/sign-up or texting SIGNUP to 20707.

I encourage you to visit our website at https://www.texarkananaacp.org/ and become a member. There, you can also find information about the Greater Texarkana Branch and its leadership team. WE NEED YOU IN THE FIGHT!

Here To Serve,

James Anthony Morris, D.Min.

President, Greater Texarkana Branch NAACP
