UAW academic workers and researchers across the country are mobilizing against the Trump administration’s attempt to gain unprecedented control over federal grant funding. Under a proposed set of federal regulations, Trump’s Office of Management and Budget (OMB) would be able to deny or cancel more than $1 trillion in annual grants at any time for any reason. The proposal would reshape and weaponize how the Federal government awards and administers all grants and other forms of financial assistance.
Join a nationwide phonebank on Thursday, July 2 at 12pm PST / 3pm EST to ask our colleagues and representatives to tell OMB how this harmful rule change will be for scientific research in the U.S. and call for it to be rescinded.
