Press Call on Thursday, March 6th at 9:30AM ET
Washington, D.C. — On Thursday, March 6th, the Congressional Integrity Project will host a press call featuring U.S. Representative Nikki Budzinski (D-IL), Democracy Forward President & CEO Skye Perryman, and Jen Bailey, Executive Director of Reach Dane Head Start. The speakers will set the record straight on the real life impact of President Trump’s illegal funding freeze.
The speakers will address first-hand the harms of the funding freeze, the ongoing fight in the courts to block the Administration’s unconstitutional impoundment actions and how Democrats are working together to protect critical funding our communities rely on. Over the last six weeks, President Trump has attempted to erode our nation’s system of checks and balances – one of the most basic tenets of our Constitution – both by ignoring Congress’s power of the purse and federal court orders.
WHAT: Press call with Representative Nikki Budzinski (D-IL), Skye Perryman (President & CEO of Democracy Forward), and Jen Bailey (Executive Director of Reach Dane Head Start) to counter President Trump’s joint address to Congress and the disastrous impact of the federal funding freeze.
WHO:
U.S. Representative Nikki Budzinski (D-IL)
Skye Perryman, President of Democracy Forward
Jen Bailey, Executive Director of Reach Dane Head Start
WHEN: Thursday, March 6, 2024, at 9:30 AM ET
