About Repeal OBBBA

Repeal OBBBA is a national grassroots coalition of advocates, organizers, and concerned citizens dedicated to overturning the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" (OBBBA) of 2025. We believe that true prosperity is built from the bottom up and the middle out—not by stripping healthcare and food security from millions to fund permanent tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy and the fossil fuel industry. Our organization serves as a central hub for those who refuse to accept the dismantling of the American social contract as the new status quo, providing the resources, data, and community coordination needed to reclaim our democracy from corporate capture.

Our Mission

Our mission is to organize a nationwide movement to repeal the OBBBA and replace it with legislation that prioritizes the health of our communities, the stability of our climate, and the dignity of every individual. We work to restore the critical social safety nets and environmental protections that were gutted by this act, ensuring a fairer and more sustainable future for all Americans. Our fight extends beyond a single bill; we are reclaiming the principle that government must serve as a shield for the public, not a tool for the highest bidder.

Why We Fight

The passage of the OBBBA on July 4, 2025, marked a radical and damaging shift in American policy. While proponents touted it as "beautiful," the reality for millions of families has been a steady erosion of security and opportunity. We are mobilizing against the OBBBA because it orchestrates a systematic assault on the working class across these critical fronts:

• Dismantles the Social Safety Net: The act implemented a 12% cut to Medicaid and introduced punitive administrative hurdles to SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program), effectively stripping essential support from the millions who rely on it most. These cuts put children, seniors, and low-income families at immediate risk of hunger and medical debt, effectively making poverty more expensive and harder to escape for the most vulnerable members of our society.
• Abandons the Climate: By repealing the clean energy credits of the Inflation Reduction Act and eliminating fuel economy standards, the OBBBA tethers our economy to the volatile fossil fuel markets of the past. This ignores the urgent scientific reality of the climate crisis and forfeits American leadership in the global race for green technology and sustainable manufacturing, leaving our workforce behind in the transition to the energy of tomorrow.
• Strategic Fiscal Destabilization: The OBBBA leveraged a massive debt limit increase to facilitate a regressive tax system rather than public investment. By making permanent the tax gifts for the top 0.1% and massive corporations, the act has intentionally ballooned the national debt. This "manufactured crisis" is now being used by politicians as a pretext to demand even deeper "austerity" cuts to Social Security, Medicare, and public infrastructure, effectively mortgaging the nation's future to pay for the enrichment of a tiny elite.
• Shifts the Tax Burden: Under the guise of tax "cuts," the bill created a system where the wealthiest Americans pay lower effective rates than teachers, nurses, and first responders. This isn't just unfair; it's a structural redistribution of wealth that starves the public sector of the resources needed to maintain a functional society.
• Militarizes Our Communities: The OBBBA redirected billions toward unprecedented mass deportations and a massive expansion of ICE, diverting resources away from education, housing, and infrastructure. This shift prioritizes surveillance and exclusion over community investment, creating a climate of fear in our neighborhoods while depleting the funds needed to keep our local services running.

Our Strategy

We achieve our mission through a multi-faceted approach centered on people-powered legislation and unyielding political pressure:

1. Legislative Authorship: The Repeal OBBBA Act Unlike traditional bills written behind closed doors by industry lobbyists and corporate interests, the Repeal OBBBA Act is a living document authored and controlled directly by the people. The entire drafting process happens transparently at discuss.repealobbba.org, where our members debate, refine, and build consensus on every clause. This ensures the legislation reflects our shared values and real-world needs. Our legislative response is defined by three non-negotiable actions: REPEAL, REVISE, and APPEND.

• REPEAL: We seek the immediate and total removal of the OBBBA’s most corrosive elements. This includes overturning the catastrophic cuts to Medicaid and SNAP and revoking the permanent tax gifts handed to billionaires and corporate polluters that have starved our public coffers.
• REVISE: We are restoring the regulatory guardrails that protect our health and environment. This involves reinstating clean energy credits, restoring emissions standards to protect our air, and fixing the tax code to ensure it serves the public good rather than subsidizing private greed.
• APPEND: We are adding new, vital protections to ensure our social contract is stronger and more resilient than ever before. Our goals include codifying rights to affordable childcare, universal access to clean water, and the creation of millions of green, unionized jobs through a modern industrial strategy that prioritizes the American worker.

2. Evidence-Based Impact Analysis We are calling on policy wonks, subject matter experts, and citizen activists to help us document and clarify the damage. We are conducting a section-by-section analysis of the OBBBA’s impact on our discussion forum. By crowdsourcing expertise to expose the granular details of this legislation, we arm our movement with the undeniable facts needed to win the argument in every congressional district.
3. Digital Advocacy: Amplifying the Movement Visibility is our greatest asset in the digital age. We utilize our Social Media Toolkit to mobilize a digital vanguard. By sharing our message, debunking disinformation, and highlighting the real-world impacts of the OBBBA across all social platforms, we ensure that the call for repeal remains the loudest voice in the room.
4. Political Accountability: Demand the Pledge We hold a simple and firm line: If you voted for the OBBBA, our goal is to replace you. Whether you are a Representative or a Senator, we are mobilizing to unseat every member of Congress who chose corporate interests over the well-being of their constituents. We will replace them with candidates who have signed the Repeal OBBBA Pledge and are explicitly committed to passing and implementing our community-led Act.
5. Grassroots Organizing: District Doers Change doesn't happen in D.C.; it happens at home. We are mobilizing a network of District Doers—local activists and organizers in all 435 congressional districts. Our mission is to flood local offices, host town halls, and engage community boards to demand that every local politician take the pledge. By organizing at the district level, we ensure that no representative can ignore the will of the people who actually live, work, and vote in their community.
