Donald Trump and his allies have proposed a federal budget that would slash more than $250 million in grants to Arizona’s universities and research institutions.

If they succeed in making these cuts, vital research could grind to a halt. These cuts would stop researchers from working on treatments for Alzheimer’s, asthma, opioid addiction, and hearing loss. Scientists improving brain scanning technology and working on cancer prevention could lose funding.

Governor Katie Hobbs and Attorney General Kris Mayes are pushing back against these devastating cuts, but they need your support to keep up the fight.

The stakes are high — these cuts would devastate Arizona’s top research institutions, including the University of Arizona, Arizona State University, and the Mayo Clinic, putting groundbreaking work in jeopardy and setting our scientific community back.

Can you pitch in today to help us support Arizona Democrats as they fight to block these reckless cuts and defend the future of medical research in the Copper State?

Thank you for being part of this important effort. Defending medical research today ensures we’ll have lifesaving cures and treatments tomorrow.
