People who work for federal agencies are losing their jobs and we are losing their skills and talents on key projects, programs, and services that can make our lives better. Social security offices in our state are being targeted for closure and grant funds remain frozen on key projects to advance the environmental health, health, and well-being of communities.
And we know that if the budget resolutions that have already been passed by the U.S. House and Senate move ahead, our state will face even deeper funding cuts and cost shifts to the state for crucial services millions of North Carolinians rely on every day.
Monday kicks off the Congressional Recess, which means it's time for us to engage with federal policymakers on these issues. Over the next week, there is no better time to share our concerns with the federal delegation and our state legislators that North Carolina won’t accept the cuts being considered.
Join this special briefing to receive more information about what is happening with these federal decisions and how you can take action.
