The House Subcommittee on Labor-HHS-Education has postponed their mark-up, which was originally scheduled for Septmber 9, 2011. A new date has not been set.
Congress needs to hear from their constituents before the markup of this FY2012 bill. The President has proposed a 50% reduction from the last authorized LIHEAP budget - we need to let Congress know how this will affect our fellow Americans.
You can write a letter, email and/or call your Representative in Congress to your support for LIHEAP. Visit our "How to Show Your Support " page for sample letters and documents, as well as our "Make Yourself Heard" page to contact your representative.
If you would like to share with us how community action has affected you, you can send your stories, pictures and videos to communityactionworks@gmail.com
