Rapid Response: Don't Freeze Federal Funding
No pithy intro today, just a new topic that needs your calls immediately.
Prevent a Federal funding freeze
Trump's acting OMB chief Matthew Vaeth has issued a memo directing government agencies to pause all of their financial assistance programs. This includes hundreds of programs which can no longer serve their core goals including school meals for children, USAID foreign assistance, and wildfire preparedness. Not only is this wrong, it's also unconstitutional as only Congress has the power to spend federal dollars.
If you have 5 minutes, call your reps today and demand they pass a resolution to spend already committed federal money to programs that count on the funds to operate.
