Feeding America @feedingamerica.org · 22d

Many people in America are a single missed paycheck away from needing support from their local food banks. A prolonged shutdown will deepen the strain.

📰 Read our full statement: bit.ly/4gMi1hb

Quote from Feeding America CEO Claire Babineaux-Fontenot. When the federal government shuts down, uncertainty begins immediately. Families, federal workers—including active-duty military—people who work for federal contractors and seniors suddenly face impossible choices not knowing if paychecks or food benefits will arrive on time.

One of the federal programs that will be harmed shortly after the shutdown begins, is Women, Infants and Children (WIC). WIC, a signature nutrition program that serves 6.5 million low-income moms and babies.

On one hand, attack the Johnson Amendment and on the other there's a directive to the Attorney General to investigate whether federal grant funds are being used to illegally support lobbying activities? Which hand should we be watching in this slight of hand game. #nonprofitsky #nonprofits

UPDATE: At least two children, ages 8 and 10, were shot and killed and at least 17 more people, including 14 children, were wounded during a back-to-school mass at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis.

Schools & churches should be sanctuaries of safety for children, not where they go to die.

More often than not, I've been feeling like: 'WHAT IS IT ALL FOR?' It's a defeatist attitude that I don't care for... the fact that I'm not alone in feeling this way helps. Thanks @nonprofitaf.bsky.social.

🚨 STATEMENT on Trump’s Attack on D.C.: Banishment is Not a Solution to Homelessness.

Serious leaders must reject Trump's approach & invest in implementing real solutions at scale 🔽

STATEMENT: Trump’s Attack on D.C.: Banishment is Not a Solution to Homelessness.

On Sunday, President Trump posted a horrifying screed announcing plans to force all of D.C.’s unhoused residents to “move out, IMMEDIATELY” & send them “FAR from the Capital.”

W/ HUD reporting a national record of 771,480 people unhoused on a single night last year—including 5,616 unhoused people in D.C., over 80% of whom were Black—vilifying & rounding up our cities’ most vulnerable is racist, cruel, irrational & dangerous.

If the goal is to solve homelessness, forced mass displacement & criminalization do the opposite: they deepen trauma, erect barriers to housing & work, worsen racial disparities, and put women, people w/ disabilities, LGBTQ+ people, veterans, & other underserved groups at greater risk.

Serious leaders must reject Trump's approach & invest in implementing real solutions at scale: build & preserve social & public housing; expand permanent supportive housing & services; & enact strong tenant protections so residents aren’t pushed into homelessness in the 1st place

Researching the Johnson Amendment and coming to an understanding of what the religious broadcasters are demanding makes me want to scream. I did, in fact, scream.

Big changes to federal grant rules. A new EO gives political appointees more power over approvals, oversight & early terminations — plus possible cuts to indirect cost recovery. Nonprofits: know what’s at stake. Learn more-->>
