In response to the Trump administration’s late night order to freeze “all federal financial assistance,” Evergreen Action Executive Director Lena Moffitt released the following statement:

“In his fervor to pursue every far right policy fantasy outlined in Project 2025, Trump is showing us that he won’t hesitate to throw the constitution out the window and the American economy into chaos. This reckless power grab is not only obviously unconstitutional—it’s deeply cruel and shortsighted. Across the country millions of families, local governments, businesses, and community organizations count on federal grant funding to put food on the table, provide essential services, and safeguard the health and safety of our communities. While we believe this order cannot hold up in court, Trump’s willingness to pull the rug out from under the American people is a clear signal of the threat he poses to our constitutional system of government and our country’s ability to work together to solve big challenges like climate change.”
