Demand Congress use its “power of the purse” to hold Trump accountable

Article 1, Section 9, Clause 7 of the U.S. Constitution says: “No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law.”

The President of the United States does not have unlimited authority to decline congressional appropriations and decide what gets funded and by how much depending on his whims and which political adversaries he wants to punish.

By hijacking congressionally appropriated funds, Donald Trump and Elon Musk (and his unqualified, unscreened team) are yanking funding from people and programs in our communities―which will have a real impact on many of our neighbors as they face frozen funding for critical human needs programs that people rely on to survive.

Congress must stand up to stop this lawless power grab.

Click here write a letter demanding Congress to defend its “power of the purse” and hold this lawless administration accountable.

Webinar: Help Opportunities for Supporting Voter Engagement as a 501(c)(3) Social Justice Organization

September 1, 2020 @ 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm

Join FRAC, Coalition on Human Needs, National Low Income Housing Coalition, and NETWORK for the next webinar in a series that is focused on elevating ideas on how and why 501(c)(3) organizations can support — in nonpartisan ways that are mission-aligned — voter registration, voter mobilization, and voting.

  • Identify strategies, tools, and resources that social justice organizations can use to support this vital work, especially in the time of COVID-19 when people and organizations are particularly stretched from responding to unprecedented needs.
  • Learn about activities ranging from social media to voter registration that your organization can take part in.
  • Get access to free and easy-to-use resources that you and your organization can use in this work.

This webinar is hosted by the Coalition on Human Needs, Food Research & Action Center, National Low Income Housing Coalition, and NETWORK. It is the second in a series of webinars for 501(c)(3) organizations on permissible election-related activities.
