If, like me, you are uncertain about how to respond to the new OMB rule that would allow political operatives to make decisions on federal grants, be sure to attend this meeting.
Topics include implications of the proposed rule, how to write effective comments, and actions needed to stop OMB. 🧪

It’s essential that everyone submit comments on this OMB proposal. It will place decisions on federal grant funding in the hands of partisan political hacks. This is the path of autocrats and failed governments. Learn as much as you can and act soon. We can only stop this if we all pitch in. 🧪
