🚨 Take Action to Respond to Proposed Grant Priorities! 🚨
Proposed changes to the federal SBMH Services Grant and MHSP Grant would:
❌ Limit services to a small % of students
❌ Exclude colleges/universities from applying
❌ Create barriers for student access
❌ Disregard prevention & wellness supports

🚨House Republicans just passed a bill that would disenfranchise 70 million married American women.
Under the SAVE Act, women who took their spouse’s last name and don't have an updated passport or birth certificate would be turned away at the polls.

At least this Republican Congressman from Kentucky is being honest. That for him representative democracy is dead. He doesn’t seem to care about wrecking the livelihoods of Kentuckians. His job is to do for his dictator in Washington, DC. His only constituent.

Trump Republicans hate the Department of Ed for the same reasons they hate education. They view education as a waste of funds since it exposes their fraud and prevents their abuse of American minds through their outlets of disinformation. Trump Republicans want a country of believers, not thinkers.
