The Trump administration's recent federal spending freeze, targeting nonprofits aiding victims of domestic violence and other marginalized groups, has alarmed these organizations. Leaders reported fears of losing essential federal funding, especially as the administration aims to align financial support with its agenda against diversity and inclusion initiatives. Although a court order mandates the restoration of funds, many organizations are already revising their outreach materials to protect their funding. The precarious situation highlights the government's influence over services that support LGBTQ+ and undocumented immigrant victims of violence.
"Every organization that had funding from the federal agencies that had been listed - any federal government agency that's funding domestic violence services - definitely felt like we were put on alert that our funding was in jeopardy."
