The Trump administration just crossed another line: Threatening over $2 billion in committed federal funding to Harvard University to punish the school for standing by its academic independence.

It’s an attack on academic freedom, scientific research, and the principle that political retaliation has no place in a democracy.

Can you chip in $25 today to help us protect research institutions from this kind of abuse?

I’ve joined 20 other attorneys general in filing an amicus brief supporting Harvard’s lawsuit. We’re sending a message: the federal government cannot weaponize research funding to intimidate universities or silence dissent.

This kind of reckless retaliation sets a dangerous precedent. If left unchallenged, it threatens Maryland’s world-class research institutions and the economic ecosystems that depend on them.

A political freeze on funding could cripple jobs, halt medical breakthroughs, and put our state’s future at risk.

As your Attorney General, I’m committed to defending the integrity of our institutions—and the rule of law.

Will you donate today to help us keep fighting for Maryland’s research institutions and protect our economy from political retaliation?

Thanks for standing with me in this fight.

With gratitude,

Anthony Brown
