Urgent: Protect Funding for Core Programs
Issued by Eboni Delaney, Interim Director of Policy and Movement Building
Since October 1, 2025, the federal government has been shut down following the expiration of appropriations for FY 2026. This impasse has direct consequences for families, which will escalate after more programs run out of funding November 1. Without immediate action, families will see increases to their health care bills and millions of parents, babies and toddlers could lose health coverage, food assistance, early education, housing, and other crucial income supports.
