‘Americans Can and Will Die from This’: USAID Worker Details Dangers, Chaos -- Politico

John, this headline makes it clear: Trump and Musk's cuts to USAID make America weaker. These cuts are a direct attack on the safety, security and prosperity of so many - including LGBTQ+ people around the globe.

You've heard that our funding has been cut, and we're fighting hard to keep our programs funded. That's where supporters like you come in: donate to support our Global trainings and programming today!

With our Defend Global Progress Fund, we'll be able to challenge the executive order, redirect programming, restructure our budget, secure new funding sources, communicate with our global partners, and sound the alarm about the ramifications for LGBTQ+ leaders we serve worldwide. We're working overtime to sure the global LGBTQ+ community we've built isn't disrupted by Trump's executive orders.

Not only do these deep cuts endanger our rights to work for global LGBTQ+ representation, but they also affect the stability and efficacy of organizations across the country working to support our fellow Americans. Make no mistake: division and disorder are the point.

But we're still here, and we won't be divided. Pitch in today to stand with us against Trump's hateful executive orders and ensure our programs have the funding they need to thrive!

Thank you,
