Tell Congress to pass disaster relief for hurricane victims before Donald Trump gets veto power.

The devastation of Helene is the worst we’ve seen in a long time. Destroyed towns. Shattered dreams. Homes washed away. Many communities may never fully recover.

Many more of these disasters will come. Trump hasn’t given any indication that he will increase aid for impacted communities. In fact, his Project 2025 playbook proposes SLASHING this exact type of aid.

Congress has failed to pass additional disaster relief funding for those hit worst by these devastating storms. That needs to change – and you can help make that happen before Trump enters the White House.

Dear {contact_data~title} {contact_data~lastName},

Hurricane Helene devastated the Southeastern United States after it made landfall on Sept. 26 as a Category 4 hurricane. More than 230 lives have been lost from the impacts of the storm, making Hurricane Helene the deadliest hurricane to hit the mainland United States since Hurricane Katrina in 2005. The damage from Florida to Virginia is of “biblical” proportions, with entire roads, communication systems, and water lines wiped away.

Since the storm moved through the region, communities have come together to clear fallen trees, supply drinking water and coordinate air drops of supplies to areas that are no longer accessible by road. However, community resources can only extend so far. We need Congress to take action to ensure the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has the resources they need to continue showing up for our communities through the long recovery process.

As hurricane season continues, I urge you immediately pass additional disaster relief to support the victims of hurricanes.

Sincerely,
