The White House has directed the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to order all federal agencies to temporarily block activities associated with the obligation and disbursement of all grants, loans, and other financial assistance.
This action by the Trump Administration places life-saving programs that serve the most vulnerable Americans at great risk.
We need YOUR voice to tell Congress TODAY what the impact would be of even a short-term disruption in obligation and disbursement activity to grants, loans, and other financial assistance in your community.

I urge your boss to contact the White House immediately and demand that this memorandum be rescinded, and federal agencies be instructed to continue operating their programs, as directed by Congress.”
