First, Trump’s Office of Management and Budget sent a memo to agencies halting federal grants and loans, effective yesterday evening.
Then, at the last minute, a judge granted a stay to pause the funding freeze – just until next Monday.
Now, our SEEC climate champions are working around the clock to minimize the disruptions to the critical environmental work on the local, state, and federal levels, all of which hangs in the balance.
The looming funding freeze will take billions of dollars out of the economy, increasing costs for everyday Americans. What’s more, it wreaks havoc upon ongoing and upcoming environmental work, including:
EPA grants supporting efforts to tackle air pollution and repair water systems
Federal programs to promote safe drinking water
Grants to fund testing for lead in schools and ensure water treatment plants are resilient against extreme storms
Department of Energy subsidies for clean energy
Regional Conservation Partnership Program projects such as small-scale solar and wind energy grants for farmers and small businesses
The Forest Service’s work to reduce the risk of wildfires
And that’s just to name a few, John. Make no mistake: this administration is threatening to upend the hard-fought wins of the environmental movement – not just from the past year, or the past administration, but the past decades.
