Update: A memo issued by the Office of Management and Budget on Wednesday January 29, made public at approximately 1:15 pm, has rescinded the freeze on federal funds. We are grateful to our community for your swift response and attention to support survivors. Your voices were heard! ___ On January 27, the White House's Office of Management and Budget issued a memo directing all federal agencies to pause federal grant, loan, and financial assistance programs effective 5 p.m. ET on January 28. Minutes before the freeze would have begun, a federal judge extended the effective date by six days. This pause would have detrimental impacts on public support services across the nation, including Kentucky's domestic violence programs, the employees who keep them operating, and the survivors they serve. As a member program of ZeroV, the coalition of Kentucky domestic violence programs, we are urging concerned Kentuckians to contact their Members of Congress today and insist they do everything in their power to prevent the federal funding pause. Call scripts and email templates you can use when contacting your Members of Congress are available here - https://lnkd.in/eM77AZJY
