LAURA PERALTA-SCHULTE

NETWORK opposed the Trump Administration's placing conditions on US funding for healthcare through the PEPFAR program on US access to that countries' critical minerals. NETWORK supports full funding for FY 27 to ensure the PEPFAR program is able to meet health access goals in Africa.

NETWORK opposes H.Con.Res. 14, the Resolution on the Budget for Fiscal Year 2025. This resolution sets in motion a bill that, if passed, will significantly harm millions of hardworking people and families to pay for tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy. NETWORK Lobby for Catholic Social Justice opposed the FULL-YEAR CONTINUING APPROPRIATIONS AND EXTENSIONS ACT, 2025. This bill made significant cuts to programs that help keep costs down in housing, healthcare, veterans services, seniors services, and more. This bill also shifted significant funding from human needs programs to fund the major expansion of family detention centers and private prisons to cage immigrant families. NETWORK strongly opposes H.R.1, the budget reconciliation bill, because it makes significant cuts to our nation's healthcare programs - MEDICAID and the Affordable Care Act - and food programs - the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program - to pay for 4.5 trillion dollars of tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations and to fund the mass separation of families through detention and deportation. The bill also raises our nation's debt by 3.5 trillion dollars. NETWORK opposed House CR proposal because it did not address the need to extend the ACA enhanced premium tax credits for 24 million Americans before open enrollment, November 1. NETWORK Lobby urged a YES on H.R. 7148 H.R. 7148, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2026, which was signed into law on February 3, 2026, becoming Public Law No: 119-75. It provides full-year, bipartisan funding for several federal departments-including Defense, Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Transportation-for the remainder of FY2026. NETWORK Lobby urged Members of Congress to reject the budget resolution and legislative text of a $70 billion reconciliation bill (Secure America Act, S.2) exclusively focused on immigration enforcement. This bill expands funding for mass deportation and detention of immigrant community members, and fails to include legal protections to ensure immigration enforcement is executed in a humane manner consistent with other law enforcement agencies.

NETWORK endorsed and strongly supports the Raise the Wage Act which lifts the minimum wage in America and ends the substandard tipped wage as well. NETWORK endorsed and supports FAMILY Act would create for the first time the permanent right to paid, job-protected comprehensive family and medical leave for all American workers. NETWORK endorsed and supports Paycheck Fairness Act, legislation that would strengthen the Equal Pay Act of 1963, help eliminate the gender wage gap, and guarantee that women can challenge pay discrimination and hold employers accountable. NETWORK endorsed and supports H.R. 20, the Richard L. Trumka Protecting the Right to Organize (PRO) Act, a comprehensive proposal to protect workers right to come together and bargain for higher wages, better benefits, and safer workplaces. NETWORK supports HR 2550, Protecting American Workers Act, which would reverse the Trump EO stripping a million federal workers of the right to bargain. NETWORK strongly support the Double the Wage for Overtime Act (HR 9216). This bill would increase the rate of overtime pay for the first time in nearly 90 years. Economic analysis shows the bill would help more than 13 million workers.

NETWORK opposes H.Con.Res. 14, the Resolution on the Budget for Fiscal Year 2025. This resolution sets in motion a bill that, if passed, it would be 7 Trillion dollars of tax benefits to the ultra-wealthy and corporations and would be "paid for" with significant cuts to health (Medicaid) and food programs (the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.) NETWORK strongly support the Tax Cut for Workers Act (H.R. 2764). This bill would Virtually triple the maximum value of the EITC for so-called childless workers from about $540 to about $1,500; extend the credit to both younger and older workers who are currently ineligible for the credit because of their age - delivering the credit to people ages 19 to 24 as well as 65 and older; and make the credit more accessible for adults aging out of the foster youth system. NETWORK endorsed and supports the American Family Act to provide a fully refundable Child Tax Credit to all families. NETWORK strongly opposes HR 1 because the tax relief is highly regressive, providing most to high income individuals and major corporations (4.5 trillion), while failing to expand low income tax credits to lift working families out of poverty. This bill drives up our national debt by 3.5 trillion. Tax relief is "paid for" by gutting healthcare and food programs for families. The bill also encourages US job loss due to offshoring incentives. NETWORK support the Working Families Disaster Tax Relief Act (S.3432 / H.R.6645) to help families affected by federally declared disasters by letting them use their previous year's income to calculate eligibility for the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and the Child Tax Credit (CTC). NETWORK supports the following bills to tax the ultra-wealthy and corporations: Tax Wealth Over $50 Million Ultra-Millionaire Tax Act - Introduces a 2% annual tax on household net worth between $50 million and $1 billion, plus a 1% to 3% surtax on net worth over $1 billion. It targets the top 0.05% of households to raise roughly $3 trillion over 10 years. Make Billionaires Pay Their Fair Share Act - Proposes a 5% annual wealth tax on individuals with a net worth over $1 billion, targeting about 938 Americans to raise roughly $4.4 trillion over a decade. This bill funds social programs like childcare, public education, and health initiatives. * The Robinhood Act, a bill to tax billionaires by taxing loan when he/she borrows against stock options. Most billionaires are pay themselves in stock options which are not taxable. Enact a millionaires surtax to fund health care and education Millionaires Surtax Act - Applies an additional 10-percentage point tax on incomes exceeding $2 million for married couples ($1 million for individuals), aiming to raise roughly $634-$716 billion over 10 years. It targets the top 0.2% of earners to fund public services like health care and education. Curb dynastic wealth and reduce the power of billionaires For the 99.5 Percent Act - Increases federal estate and gift taxes on the wealthiest Americans to reduce wealth inequality. The bill seeks to reduce the estate tax exemption to $3.5 million per person and progressively raises the top tax rate. Billionaires Income Tax Act - Ensures that ultra-wealthy individuals pay taxes annually on gains from tradable assets like stocks, rather than deferring taxes until assets are sold. The bill targets taxpayers with over $1 billion in assets or over $100 million in income for three consecutive years. Making corporations pay their fair share Raise the Corporate Income Tax - Increase the federal corporate income tax rate-from 21% up to 28%-to raise federal revenue, fund public investments, and ensure large corporations pay their fair share. No Tax Breaks for Outsourcing Act - Eliminates tax incentives that encourage U.S. corporations to move jobs, factories, and profits overseas. It would equalize foreign and domestic corporate tax rates that would incentivize offshoring investments. Strengthening Social Security and Medicare Scrap the payroll tax cap to fully fund Social Security and Medicare for next generations: Social Security 2100 Act - Applies the Social Security payroll tax to earnings over $400,000, closing the gap where high incomes were previously exempt.

NETWORK endorsed and supports the American Family Act to provide a fully refundable Child Tax Credit to all families. NETWORK supports FAMILY Act would create for the first time the permanent right to paid, job-protected comprehensive family and medical leave for all American workers. H.R. 1464 - Modern WIC Act, which makes permanent flexibilities that allow for remote enrollment, services, and benefit issuance for the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC). NETWORK urges support for the Tech to Save Moms Act (HR 8317) to leverage the use of telehealth to improve maternal health outcomes, including expanding remote patient monitoring and promoting virtual training and capacity building models.

NETWORK supports urging them to use the upcoming mandatory six-year review of the renegotiated North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), to make significant and necessary improvements to the trade deal. Since the deals entry into force on July 1, 2020, it has become increasingly clear that the deal has not delivered on the promises of reshoring and job growth that President Trump promised in his first term. Multinational corporations have continued to threaten to offshore jobs as leverage against workers; the U.S. trade deficit with Mexico and Canada has increased, with imports undermining U.S. businesses and workers in key sectors like auto and aerospace; and Chinese companies have invested in Mexico to skirt U.S. trade laws and take advantage of the USMCAs benefits, funneling unfair Chinese imports into the U.S. NETWORK strongly supports the Fair Trade for Working Families Resolution which calls for strong new labor, environmental protections along with new enforcement mechanisms as goals for the renegotiation of the USMCA.

NETWORK strongly opposes the FY 25 Budget Reconciliation Act because it will cut $880 Billion in Medicaid funding and introduce structural changes to the program that will make it harder for children, pregnant women, low income workers, and the elderly to access healthcare. These cuts are included to pay for tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy and to increase the detention and deportation of immigrants. It is immoral. NETWORK strongly supports ensuring that the Social Security 2100 Act which increases and expands with a 2% across the board for all Social Security beneficiaries for the first time in 52 years. This bill improves the Cost-of-Living Adjustment (COLA), so it reflects the inflation actually experienced by seniors and increases benefits to boost lower income seniors. NETWORK strongly opposed H.R 1 for many reason including cutting 1 trillion dollars from our nation's healthcare programs including MEDICAID, the Affordable Care Act and ultimately Medicare due to debt triggers. 500 billion in expected cuts. NETWORK strongly supports bill that would extend premium tax credits to purchase health coverage on the Affordable Care Act for three years. NETWORK strongly opposes efforts to cut Medicaid funding for home healthcare providers by the Trump Administration. Home healthcare services are fundamentally important to ensure disabled and elder individuals are able to live safely at home. Under US law, people have the right to access services to ensure they stay in the least restrictive environment possible. This also saves significant money.

NETWORK opposes H.R. 1 because it enriches the wealthy at the expense of working families. NETWORK opposes the House Continuing Resolution because it fails to remedy the expiration of the ACA enhanced premium tax credit before the beginning of ACA open enrollment, Nov. 1. This will lead to 5 million Americans losing healthcare coverage.

NETWORK endorsed and strongly supports the Raise the Wage Act which lifts the minimum wage in America and ends the substandard tipped wage as well.

NETWORK believes the current federal tax system allows and encourages the wealthy and corporations to avoid paying their fair share of taxes and is fundamentally unjust. To create an economy that works for all, the wealthy and corporations should pay more in taxes than they pay now. NETWORK believes corporations derive enormous benefits from the public investments and protections that our tax dollars support and they have a responsibility to contribute. The tax incentives for multinational corporations to shift jobs and profits offshore to avoid taxation should be eliminated, which would level the playing field for small businesses and domestic corporations For decades, wealth and income have grown more and more concentrated in fewer and fewer hands. NETWORK opposes any tax plan that provides tax relief for wealthy individuals and further skews the economy and the tax code away from the vast majority of working people.

NETWORK strongly opposes the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) efforts to engage in the mass deportation of 11 million aspiring Americans who live in communities across the U.S. NETWORK strongly opposes efforts by DHS to restrict asylum seekers from entering the United States at our southern border and believes this is in violation of U.S. and international law. NETWORK strongly opposes DHS expansion of a vast network of privately run prisons and county jails that deprive tens of thousands of immigrants of their liberty each day. The system is defined by systemic rights abuses and impunity. NETWORK strongly believes DHS and HHS should terminate the Memorandum of Understanding related to unaccompanied minors.

NETWORK opposes DHS efforts to separate parents from their children as families are processed for asylum at the U.S. Southern border. NETWORK strongly oppose President Trump's Executive Orders that restrict the entrants of refugees from Muslim majority countries.

This proposal would significantly increases the cost of securing legal immigration status thus making such status unattainable for many. NETWORK strongly supports the Farm Workforce Modernization Act of 2019 which provides a pathway to citizenship for millions of undocumented farm workers and their families.

NETWORK is focused on legislation to ensure everyone living in America, regardless of status, has access to COVID testing and treatment.

NETWORK strongly believes that all states should immediately expand Medicaid coverage to provide care for low income Americans.

NETWORK strongly opposes the Department of Health and Human Services guidelines allowing states to condition access to Medicaid on employment.

NETWORK supports the newly revised US-Mexico-Canada agreement which accomplishes the following: Removes the additional patent/marketing exclusivity protections given to pharmaceutical companies during the initial NAFTA negotiation. Promotes greater protections and increased wages for workers, including the right to organize. New protections also include swift and sure enforcement for labor provisions. Severe limits the rights of powerful corporations to attack health, safety and environmental laws through the use of ISDS courts.

NETWORK is focused on legislation to ensure everyone living in America, regardless of status, has access to COVID testing and treatment.

NETWORK believes a strong and prosperous society requires everyone to contribute.

NETWORK opposes any tax plan that provides tax relief for wealthy individuals and further skews the economy and the tax code away from the vast majority of working people.

NETWORK believes a strong and prosperous society requires everyone to contribute. Without taxes there would be no public education and health systems, safe communities, secure retirements, reliable transportation systems, breakthrough research for medical cures, clean renewable energy, and an economic security system to protect and boost struggling families. NETWORK believes the current federal tax system allows and encourages the wealthy and corporations to avoid paying their fair share of taxes and is fundamentally unjust. To create an economy that works for all, the wealthy and corporations should pay more in taxes than they pay now. NETWORK believes corporations derive enormous benefits from the public investments and protections that our tax dollars support and they have a responsibility to contribute. The tax incentives for multinational corporations to shift jobs and profits offshore to avoid taxation should be eliminated, which would level the playing field for small businesses and domestic corporations For decades, wealth and income have grown more and more concentrated in fewer and fewer hands. NETWORK opposes any tax plan that provides tax relief for wealthy individuals and further skews the economy and the tax code away from the vast majority of working people.

NETWORK believes a strong and prosperous society requires everyone to contribute. Without taxes there would be no public education and health systems, safe communities, secure retirements, reliable transportation systems, breakthrough research for medical cures, clean renewable energy, and an economic security system to protect and boost struggling families. NETWORK believes the current federal tax system allows and encourages the wealthy and corporations to avoid paying their fair share of taxes and is fundamentally unjust. To create an economy that works for all, the wealthy and corporations should pay more in taxes than they pay now. NETWORK believes corporations derive enormous benefits from the public investments and protections that our tax dollars support and they have a responsibility to contribute. The tax incentives for multinational corporations to shift jobs and profits offshore to avoid taxation should be eliminated, which would level the playing field for small businesses and domestic corporations For decades, wealth and income have grown more and more concentrated in fewer and fewer hands. NETWORK opposes any tax plan that provides tax relief for wealthy individuals and further skews the economy and the tax code away from the vast majority of working people.

NETWORK supports expanding the Child Tax Credit by making the credit fully refundable and indexing the credit to make it more accessible for low income children.

NETWORK believes that the rules of the global economy must work for the benefit of all, rather then the privileged few and corporate interests.

NETWORK believes that healthcare is a fundamental human right not a privilege for those that can afford coverage. NETWORK believes the Affordable Care Act has been a success. Under the law, 20 million Americans have gained health care coverage including vulnerable families and individuals through the expansion of MEDICAID. NETWORK strongly believes that all states should immediately expand Medicaid coverage under the ACA to provide care for low income Americans. NETWORK believes any changes to the Affordable Care Act must immediately result in an equitable replacement that maintains or improves access to stable, affordable, quality healthcare and healthcare coverage. NETWORK opposes Graham-Cassidy bill or any effort to alter the Medicaid Program by replacing the current entitlement structure to a "Per Capita Cap or Block Granting"scheme. Those changes would severely cut federal funding for Medicaid and thus millions of vulnerable Americans would lose coverage. NETWORK urges Congress to take swift action to fund the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) to ensure health coverage for 8.9 million children who rely on the program. NETWORK urges Congress to protect the Prevention and Public Health Fund.
