President Trump wants to paint the exterior of the Eisenhower Executive Office Building — a landmark granite structure built between 1871 and 1888 — white, because he thinks it looks better next to the White House. The preliminary cost estimate for the project is $7.5 million, with repainting expected every 25 years.

The public has already weighed in. Comments submitted during the official review period were overwhelmingly negative. Historic preservation experts, architects, and everyday Americans have called the plan everything from unnecessary to outright damaging to the building's granite facade. The federal panel reviewing the proposal has asked the administration for more details on costs and whether the paint would harm the historic exterior.

$7.5 million in federal funds to repaint a building that isn't broken — at a time when American families are struggling with the cost of groceries, housing, healthcare, and childcare.

This is the same administration that has cut funding for schools, health programs, and social services across the country. The same administration proposing $1 billion in taxpayer money for a White House ballroom. Now $7.5 million more for a paint job on a 150-year-old building because the president doesn't like the color.

Sign this petition to tell President Trump and Congress: reject the Eisenhower Building paint project and redirect those funds toward programs that support American families.
