NCH’s Stand Against the Federal Grants Freeze | Part II
It was so encouraging to witness the overwhelming support for programs and funding for people and organizations across this country when the administration’s executive order halted funding. People organized immediately—it was a testament to people coming together to fight against injustice.
While I am deeply moved by the outpouring of resistance,I am also hopeful that the same level of energy and resistance will continue as we launch our direct action campaign against criminalization. It is our belief that the criminalization actions we are witnessing across the country are direct violations of the Constitution of the United States.
Please keep your eyes open for information about our efforts to stand up for those who, in some cases, cannot stand up for themselves. If you are someone experiencing homelessness, we need you in this fight, and we look forward to partnering with you to ensure that everyone has a path toward housing justice that does not include a carceral approach.
In solidarity,
Donald Whitehead
