@ncrpcommunity.bsky.social looked at government grants (990 Part 8 Line 1e) data for orgs whose missions included "legal aid" and similar key phrases and found something unsurprising: the federal funding freeze means many, many poor and working class people will lose access to legal resources.

🚨PHILANTHROPY: You’re Letting Legal Aid Fail.🚨
Nearly HALF of all legal aid organizations depend on government grants to stay afloat. When that funding dries up, they’re left with nothing. No legal help for those who can’t afford it. No protection for the vulnerable. Justice denied.
