On the federal cuts made by the DOJ - particularly Court Appointed Special Advocates (aka CASA) - and how Donald Trump may have been targeting an immigration advocacy group instead.
Thank you for bringing attention to this and providing the letter verbiage! I just wrote to my reps using that letter you provided using ResistBot. Text SIGN PYRTIZ to 50409 or share: https://resist.bot/petitions/PYRTIZ
Done! I've emailed Tommy Tuberville, Katie Britt, and Dale Strong.
Hopefully, Alabama will have some Democrats running in the upcoming elections.
I urge my fellow Alabamians who are ashamed of this current administration's vile acts to speak out and contact their representatives. We must make them sweat and realize their jobs are on the line. Vote them out!
Thank you for bringing this to light, V. I’m a CASA staff member in the Midwest. My program is not affected (yet?) but many in my state are floundering. Unconscionable.
Let’s partner on this go check out my story of survival and currently trying to get my boys back to safety from their federal law enforcement dad Jaime Rangel and the corrupt law enforcement in south Texas including federal ATF ballistics expert Sandra Rangel retired Hidalgo County CSI that has pulled strings to silence me in McAllen. This ends today. On my way back to the Children’s Advocacy Center of North Texas to get them to fix what Lewisville police department fucked up on Friday and handed over my teenage boys TO THEIR ABUSER AGAINST THEIR WILL because we didn’t have an address in Dallas yet. I’ve been cleared last Wednesday during our forensic interviews both the kids and I all sat individually for them and I was deemed and drug and alcohol tested to clear all false CPS allegations brought forth in an effort to intimidate me and to get the courts to think I’m the problem when I’m a victim of Jaime’s domestic abuse in California. Let’s work on the federal legislation that needs to change. All my evidence and stories are on social media where I’m speaking up for those who are silenced before telling their stories and all those who can’t speak yet for fear of safety. I want you to have my exclusive first sit down interview. @briannajeanrichards on Facebook and Instagram. Please let’s partner together. The boys need and deserve peace and safety and now that my husband is in Texas, this jurisdictional finger pointing is over. He needs to be arrested today. It will be done I won’t give up. Please partner with me!
I am a CASA and I left messages with my reps this weekend AND sent physical letters today. This is devastating for our program. Our local CASA is invaluable to our local DHS, AAL’s, and judges, and to children in our community. We have a great relationship with everyone who works on cases and I can personally attest to the value we add.
I am a professional grant writer for nonprofits, his attack on congressionally-appropriated funding requires greater oversight. A working and independent congress would have prevented this--instead we are saddle with a House full of Republican sycophants. It appears that the number of nonprofits harmed by this willy-nilly "cutting" of funds has no real plan or pattern. Sure, some of it is based in revenge, but to most of us impacted by us, it has very little real structure. It is targeting what the pinheads in DOGE believe is "free" money. It is far from that. The public needs reporters like you to inform them about arduousness of the federal grant system and how wide the funnel is at the grant application phase, and how narrow it is when it comes to being an awardee. After that is the monthly reporting and accounting. If you want to know how it works, I would be more than happy to tell you.
This literally made me cry. As a child who's only advocate was my mom, cuz she believed me, in 1970. I cheered when I learned about CASA for kids. I can't tell you how devastated I am to not be a billionaire so I could replace their funding.
Thank you for providing both the link and a full text letter. I wrote to all 3 of my reps!

He probably thought CASA was Mexican, so cut it, because he's so stupid!
This is cruel to the highest degree

Where is the link to the letter to send directly to our senators?
Thank you for the sample letter, I just sent it off to all my representatives!!
I’ve messaged my representatives!
I seriously doubt there’s been a mistake, maybe that it took this long but not that it he’s cancelled it.
Absolutely no accident here. He’s a child sexual abuse survivor who will never face the truth of that and he wants to punish anyone who does.

Thank you. Sorry for the typos. I am sick with a nasty cold.
Thanks and cheers.
