Dear John,
Congressional Republicans passed a bill this week, adding more than $70 billion to the DHS budget. In addition to disregarding the will of the people, the DHS funding bill also grossly misappropriates taxpayer dollars, shunning kitchen table priorities to follow the White House’s anti-immigrant agenda. The money in that bill could have:
* Covered every uninsured child in America through the Children’s Health Insurance Program
* More than doubled federal investments in child care and early learning
* Fully reversed last year’s SNAP cuts for years
* Doubled federal Housing Choice Voucher funding, putting affordable housing within reach for twice as many families
These are what families need, and these are the things our congressional representatives should be fighting for.

Take Action: Comment on Proposed USCIS Change of Address Form Updates
USCIS has proposed significant changes to its Change of Address Form (AR-11) that would expand the form beyond a simple address updated tool into a broader data collection mechanism with potential surveillance and enforcement implications.
The National Immigration Law Center (NILC) has created a helpful template comment [[link removed]] to support organizations and individuals in submitting feedback. Comments are due Monday, July 6 at 11:59 pm ET.
For more information, review the explainer [[link removed]] co-authored by PIF and ILRC.

Take Action by July 13: Oppose Sweeping Proposed Changes to Federal Grantmaking
On May 29, 2026, the White House proposed sweeping changes [[link removed]] to rules governing federal grants and other funding. The proposal would allow an administration to make funding decisions based on partisan ideology, rather than objective criteria, community needs, and congressional intent, while decreasing public transparency throughout the process. Political appointees would review all discretionary grants, and could block grants that they perceive as not aligned with the President’s agenda or as supporting illegal immigration.
The National Council of Nonprofits encourages nonprofits to take action to oppose the proposed changes by July 13 by:
1. Signing a national letter [[link removed]]
2. Using NCN’s comment guide [[link removed]] to submit a public comment
3. Emailing your members of Congress [[link removed]]

Just Bad News
* HHS Cut Funding to Hawaii’s Medicaid Fraud Unit.
