We’ve been on the phone with multiple agencies/orgs. They’ve been completely cut off from federal money. We’re talking housing, homeless services, public safety, etc. I’m calling a press conference today to explain how this could have drastic local impacts to our constituents.

If you’re a federal employee, you should know this is a lie. Congress hasn’t appropriated these monies and so it’s literally not there to be spent. Also, federal agencies are limited by law to a max $25K payout in the case of restructuring.

Photo of Coretta Scott King speaking at the podium of the National Women’s Conference in 1977 flanked by a multiracial group of women of color in front of a large banner reading “Feminists.” She was speaking in support of a resolution declaring that women of color experience discrimination on both race and sex.
