HUGE: In federal court today, Judge Howell found that the Trump Administration and DOGE illegally removed USIP Board members, thereby nullifying ensuing actions including: - replacement of Board members with DOGE officials, - USIP staff purge, and - transfer of USIP property to GSA.

So if you’re able to provide support, please donate to trusted on-the-ground organisations such as Better Burma, Medical Action Myanmar, Mutual Aid Myanmar, Advance Myanmar, the Myanmar Red Cross. They will ensure that your funds will not go straight to the military dictatorship. (Art by Lun Ye)

Newly installed 20-something Nate Cavanaugh the so-called Acting President of the DOGE controlled-USIP is trying to transfer the USIP building to the GSA! But USIP building was built with private donations for USIP. Not ok. See details in the court filing today: www.courtlistener.com/docket/69754...
