John,
During President Trump’s first 100 days in office, The Department of Justice (DOJ) terminated the entirety of Vera’s federal funding for public safety programs.
They didn’t stop there. The DOJ cut hundreds more grants, totalling more than $820 million in criminal justice funding.
Are you OK with that? Add your name >>
These funds support organizations doing on-the-ground, lifesaving work, and cutting them threatens the well-being of the people we serve.
These cuts are not accidental. This administration has repeatedly attacked independent, mission-driven organizations that are a fundamental part of civil society. Its sudden termination of funding for community violence intervention, victim services, youth and criminal justice grants will make neighborhoods less safe.
This is your chance to make a difference. Tell Congress Trump’s attacks must stop.
In solidarity,
