An open letter to the President & U.S. Congress; State Governors & Legislatures

They Died Waiting for Warnings You Voted to Defund

21 so far! Help us get to 25 signers!

Trump said, “Natural disasters are a test of leadership” and “Bad management causes disasters, not nature.” Under Republican management 86 Americans are dead since March 2025 due to extreme weather. • April floods: 24 dead • May tornadoes: 31 dead • June storms: 7 dead • July Texas floods: 24 dead. Girls still missing who were swept from their prayer circles in a Christian camp. Not a LGBTQ+ camp. Not a trans camp. A CHRISTIAN camp. We are in hurricane, wildfire, and peak summer storm season while you smugly slash the National Weather Service. • ~880 NOAA staff fired • 26 percent cut to NOAA funding • Balloon launches halted • Forecasts delayed • Warnings missed Restore full NOAA funding now. Ask yourself when the next storm hits, will you be able to say you did everything you could to stop it? If not, their blood is forever on your hands.
