OK up until now I’ve just made attempts at humorous comments on people’s posts. But today, as massive numbers of people - humans - take to the streets and public Square to demonstrate their outrage at our government’s current “policies“ I will say that we are all in this together.

Glad I held on to Enron and AIG stock

Despite the current administration’s cessation of vast amounts of foreign aid across several agencies, here is a way each of us can help provide critical funding for refugees and humanitarian aid. Simply saving lives.

This isn’t about politics — it’s about saving lives. Congress must pass the UNRWA Funding Emergency Restoration Act to restore vital aid for Palestine refugees. UNRWA USA & 100+ partners are pushing for action, but we need YOU. Take action now. #FundUNRWA

There is a LOT to keep up to date on as we know. This bi-weekly newsletter is our effort @charitysecurity.bsky.social to provide timely and vital information and resources to critical civil society organizations.

We are among many that are tracking and responding to the broad assaults on civil society. We’ve been at this for a while, and are working hard to partner with others to protect civil society. Please consider signing up for our newsletter.

C&SN recently joined @unrwausa.bsky.social alongside 123 other #CivilSociety orgs. urging US Congress to support the forthcoming UNRWA Funding Emergency Restoration Act 2025, which would restore US funding to #UNRWA. The USA remains the only country to withhold funds. bit.ly/3DPIrQ2

Earlier this year, DOJ called for input on upcoming changes to #FARA, the US #ForeignAgent law. C&SN & #CivilSociety partners highlighted that the proposed amendments failed to address “FARA’s overbreadth and vagueness" which can undermine #FirstAmendment rights & easily be weaponized bit.ly/3FgyAmR

So if Trump eliminates the Department of Education won’t he have succeeded in a key Biden goal – eliminating student loan debt for millions?
