Act Now: Tell Congress to stop Trump’s attack on nonprofits

We cannot let these vital services disappear.

Dear Pamela,   During President Trump's first 100 days in office, the Department of Justice (DOJ) terminated the entirety of Vera's federal funding for public safety programs.  They didn't stop there. The DOJ then cut 365 criminal justice grants, totaling roughly $820 million across organizations in the field. These funds support organizations doing on-the-ground, lifesaving work, and cutting them threatens the wellbeing of the people we serve. Pamela, we cannot let these vital services disappear. Tell Congress: Our communities cannot afford to lose this support. These cuts are not accidental. This administration has repeatedly attacked independent, mission-driven organizations that are a fundamental part of civil society. The sudden termination of funding for community violence intervention, services for survivors of crime, youth and criminal justice grants will make neighborhoods less safe. Right now, with our partners, we are leading a legal challenge to these illegal and arbitrary cuts. While we bring our fight to court, you can take action by urging Congress to support the programs and people that keep our communities safe. Pamela: This is your chance to make a difference. Tell Congress Trump's attacks must stop. In solidarity,  Vera Institute of Justice © 2025 Vera Institute of Justice.
