Urgent: Overturn the Freeze on Federal Aid by President Trump
1 so far! Help us get to 5 signers!
I am writing to express my deep concern about President Trump's recent decision to freeze federal loans and grants, as outlined in the [CBS News article](https://www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/trump-freeze-federal-loans-grants-white-house-memo/). This move is both misguided and harmful, and I urge you to do everything in your power to work towards overturning it.
The freeze, which affects billions of dollars in funding for critical programs, will disproportionately harm communities across the country that rely on these federal resources. As detailed in the article, the freeze impacts a wide range of initiatives, including financial assistance to students, small businesses, and state governments. These funds are essential for recovery and support in the face of ongoing challenges—whether it's the economic fallout of the COVID-19 pandemic, natural disasters, or other urgent needs.
The White House memo makes it clear that this decision was driven by political motives rather than an objective need to preserve the federal budget. Freezing funding will only exacerbate the difficulties many Americans are facing right now, particularly the most vulnerable populations who are counting on these resources to stay afloat. Cutting off aid at this juncture will only delay recovery efforts and put more pressure on struggling communities.
I respectfully ask that you stand up for the American people and work to ensure that these crucial federal loans and grants are restored. Whether through legislation or other means, we need to act swiftly to protect those who rely on this aid for their survival and well-being. Please use your position to advocate for the reversal of this freeze and make it clear that the interests of the American public must come first.
Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter. I look forward to hearing your thoughts on how you plan to address this issue.
