They don’t care if we are sick, starving, or dying. But I care. ALL SAMHSA grants must be immediately reinstated. I will fight it in the courts, in the streets and in Congress until we all have every single thing we need to thrive.

Last night with no warning, RFK Jr. cancelled up to $2 billion in funding for mental health and substance abuse research and programs administered through SAMHSA.
He and his minions did so because “they no longer believe the defunded programs align with the Trump administration's priorities”.
