States face uncertainty as Trump administration tries to reverse SNAP food payments States are facing uncertainty about providing full monthly benefits for a federal food program serving 42 million Americans.

Another day, another court ordering the admin to continue SNAP for hungry families. If basic decency and humanity don’t compel this administration to assure food security for all Americans, then multiple federal court judges finding its actions unlawful must.

❗️SNAP UPDATE: The appeals court denied the administration's request for a stay on yesterday's order in our lawsuit, requiring full SNAP benefits be paid today! Great news. BUT, the admin has already filed an emergency application to the Supreme Court and asked for a decision by 10:30pm. Stay tuned.

While DOJ appeals yesterday’s court order in NCN’s litigation requiring the administration to fully fund SNAP, USDA sends a letter to states saying they are complying. More to come.

Nonprofits bring help and hope when both are needed most. Whether it’s providing a safe place
for victims of abuse or compassionate care in times of crisis, nonprofits get it done in American communities.

Tell Congress we need nonprofits.

I’m in Palm Springs, CA, at Benevity Live for a plenary panel on Nonprofits at a Crossroads: the Way Forward. I urged the audience of 1500 corporate donors to use their positions of power/privilege to speak out, fund, and advocate to protect nonprofits in this time of existential threats.

Nonprofits Under Threat: What’s in the House Tax Bill and How You Can Help The draft tax bill includes many provisions which, if enacted, could have a significant impact on nonprofit organizations nationwide and the people they serve

❗️ The R tax bill would hand unchecked power to the Trump admin to punish nonprofit orgs that don’t fall in line with the its ideology by labeling them as terrorist-supporting groups - w/o due process, w/o a third-party investigation & w/o public evidence: www.councilofnonprofits.org/articles/non...

President Trump Proposes to Slash Funding for Domestic Programs in FY2026 President Trump released today a “skinny” budget, outlining his spending priorities for Fiscal Year (FY) 2026. The National Council of Nonprofits looks at what this will mean for nonprofits.

The President’s budget proposal, released today, is his latest effort to try to eliminate or deeply cut critical federal resources and denigrate nonprofit organizations that lawfully serve their communities. Read our analysis: www.councilofnonprofits.org/articles/pre...

Glad to talk w/Chronicle of Philanthropy about threats to the sector & how NCN is working to meet the moment.

DOGE wanted to assign staff to the nonprofit Vera Institute of Justice because it got federal funds The nonprofit Vera Institute of Justice says staff from Elon Musk’s DOGE contacted them to “assign” a team to the organization and said DOGE staff told them they intended to “assign” teams to all nonp...

As I say in this article, the request from DOGE to Vera Institute of Justice is a blatant abuse of power that should alarm all Americans. Very glad that Vera pushed back and spoke out. We stand with them. apnews.com/article/doge...

Opinion | Musk Said No One Has Died Since Aid Was Cut. That Isn’t True. A journey through the front lines of global poverty shows that when the world’s richest men slash aid for the world’s poorest children, the result is sickness, starvation and death.

Excruciating, crucial read. “You never forget the sight of children starving to death, so I wish White House officials could have been with me on this trip to South Sudan, where 70 percent of nutrition assistance has come from the United States.” www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

The Trump admin is freezing $ appropriated by Congress to reduce lead in water fountains in schools/daycares, weatherize homes & lower utility bills of low-income Americans, maintain green spaces in disadvantaged communities, reduce risk of wildfires. This harms many and benefits none.

Suit Filed To Restore Critical Infrastructure and Investment Funds Trump Funding Freeze has Disrupted Multiple Community-Led Initiatives

❗️We've filed a *new lawsuit* to prevent the Trump Administration from unlawfully withholding funding to nonprofits and others for essential programs funded by the Inflation Reduction Act and Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill!

www.councilofnonprofits.org/pressrelease...

The President of the United States declares an “anti-democratic takeover orchestrated” by orgs (like National Council of Nonprofits) suing to stop the admin’s reckless, lawless actions.

He signed this memo in the Oval Office, making attempted intimidation official WH policy.

We won’t back down.

Fearing Retribution, Trump Critics Muzzle Themselves People say they are intimidated by online attacks from the president, concerned about harm to their businesses or worried about the safety of their families.

Reading this article and reminded again, as I’ve been so many times since January 20, of wise words from Audre Lorde: “Your silence will not protect you.”

Last night we filed a NEW motion and declaration in our case of NCN v OMB. We're asking the judge to clarify that Continuum of Care (CoC) grants that’ve been awarded are covered under the court’s Preliminary Injunction preventing the administration from implementing broad federal funding freezes.
