BREAKING: Democracy Forward Statement on Rescinded OMB Memo<\/b><\/h2>\n

Yesterday, Democracy Forward <\/i>Secured A Stay<\/i><\/a> On The Office Of Management and Budget\u2019s Freeze Of Federal Grants On Behalf Of Nonprofit Groups<\/i><\/p>\n

Washington, DC <\/b>\u2014 In light of the Office of Management and Budget rescinding its memo pausing all agency grants and loans, Skye Perryman, President and CEO of Democracy Forward<\/b> released the following statement:\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cFacing legal pressure from our clients and in the wake of a federal judge ruling in our case last evening, the Trump-Vance administration has abandoned OMB\u2019s ordered federal funding freeze. We are proud of our courageous clients \u2014 who represent communities across the nation \u2014 for going to court to stop the administration\u2019s unlawful actions.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile we hope this will enable millions of people in communities across the country to breathe a sigh of relief, we condemn the Trump-Vance administration\u2019s harmful and callous approach of unleashing chaos and harm on the American people. Our team will continue to bring swift legal actions to protect the American people and will use the legal process to ensure that federal funding is restored.\u201d<\/p>\n

This comes after the U.S. District Court of the District of Columbia\u2019s stay<\/a> on OMB\u2019s freeze of federal grants, which was in response to a suit filed by Democracy Forward on behalf of the National Council of Nonprofits, the American Public Health Association, Main Street Alliance, and SAGE.<\/p>\n

The memo is available here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

“Our team will continue to bring swift legal actions to protect the American people and will use the legal process to ensure that federal funding is restored,” said Skye Perryman, President and CEO of Democracy Forward.<\/p>\n
