Take Action to Defend Trump's Attacks on Public Research Funding
On May 29, the Trump administration announced a new escalation in their attacks on the working class. Under a proposed set of federal regulations, 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.
These proposed policies are an attempt to wrest control of federal spending from Congress and to undermine the courts that have blocked Trump’s illegal cuts again and again. While workers face an affordability crisis and soaring prices, these policies will create further economic uncertainty, kill jobs, and stifle innovation.
UAW members can stop this from happening:

- On Thursday, July 2 at 3 PM ET, UAW higher education members are holding a nationwide phone bank to oppose these proposed changes and defend the independence of scientific research. Click here to RSVP for the phone bank.
By taking these two actions, you will help defend a strong and independent scientific enterprise—and protect UAW members' jobs.
