UAW members across the country are organizing a phonebank to stop Trump’s takeover of federal grants. The Senate is voting this week on whether to pause new grant rules that would hand control of over $1 trillion in federal grants to political appointees of the Trump administration. Click here to RSVP for the phonebank on August 5 at Noon ET / 9am PT.
Under a proposed set of Federal regulations announced in May, Trump’s Office of Management and Budget would gain unprecedented control to deny or cancel more than $1 trillion in annual Federal grants at any time for any reason. In response, over 500,000 comments were submitted in opposition including by thousands of UAW members. The Trump Administration is aiming to implement these new policies by October 1, and this Senate vote would block them from going into effect.
On Wednesday 8/5 join other UAW members at the phone bank to push the Senate to say NO to Trump’s takeover of federal grants!
In solidarity,
Andrew Little
President, UAW 4100
