The Trump Administration’s War on Children The administration is quietly putting America’s children at risk by cutting funds and manpower for investigating child abuse, enforcing child support payments, providing child care and much more.

Trump has indefinitely withdrawn federal funding for:
β€’ Investigating child sexual abuse and internet crimes against kids;
β€’ Responding to reports of missing children;
β€’ Preventing youth violence

As Trump cuts federal jobs, even national parks are on the chopping block As the Trump administration rushes to eliminate federal jobs, even the national parks β€” among the country’s most beloved and least politicized institutions β€” are in the crosshairs.

"Last week, the seasonal workers who staff 433 national parks and historical sites, including Yosemite, Death Valley and Joshua Tree, began receiving emails saying their job offers for the 2025 season had been β€œrescinded,” with little further explanation".

When we hear or see the R-word used by others, we can help by making them aware that this slur hurts people with disabilities and their loved ones.

The words we use can build others up or can cause lasting harm.
