An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Withdraw directive halting congressionally-approved funds to prevent catastrophe

1 so far! Help us get to 5 signers!

The American people, through their elected representatives in Congress, have the constitutional authority to appropriate federal funds. President Trump's attempt to unilaterally pause grants, loans, and other federal financial assistance circumvents the legislative branch's power of the purse. This executive overreach undermines the separation of powers and disregards programs legally enacted by Congress to serve the public good. The funding freeze jeopardizes vital services and assistance that millions of Americans rely on, from education and infrastructure to disaster relief and scientific research. Unilaterally halting Congressionally-approved funds is an unconstitutional usurpation of Congress's role. This harmful directive should be withdrawn to uphold the rule of law and prevent catastrophic consequences for the nation.
