Senate Oversight Cmte. to hear testimony from array of organizations impacted by Trump administration\u2019s attempts to halt federal funding<\/i>\u00a0<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
\n

LANSING, Mich. (March 4, 2025) \u2014 Tomorrow, Wednesday, March 5, the Senate Oversight Committee, chaired by Sen. Sam Singh<\/b> (D-East Lansing), will hear testimony from leaders of early childhood education programs, health and nutrition experts, disability advocates, and other nonprofits and institutions that have been impacted by the Trump administration\u2019s January memo ordering a pause to funding for federal grants and loans.<\/p>\n

Though the order was temporarily blocked by a federal judge, who also decided last week to extend the block,<\/a><\/u><\/span> the effects of the administration\u2019s initial announcement caused confusion and chaos in the days that followed and ongoing uncertainty. This has resulted in devastating consequences for organizations around the state and for the Michiganders who rely on them. This committee hearing is an opportunity to hear firsthand about the on-the-ground impact this directive has had here in Michigan.<\/p>\n

WHO: <\/b>Local leaders of early childhood education programs, health and nutrition experts, disability advocates, and others representing Michigan nonprofits and institutions\u00a0<\/p>\n

WHAT: <\/b>Senate Oversight Committee hearing will hear firsthand impacts of President Trump\u2019s federal funding freeze on Michiganders and the services and organizations they depend on.<\/p>\n

WHEN: TOMORROW, Wednesday, March 5, 2025, at 8:30 a.m.<\/p>\n

<\/b>WHERE: <\/b>Room 1200, Binsfeld Office Building, 201 Townsend Street, Lansing, MI 48933. The hearing will also be livestreamed on the Michigan Senate Democrats\u2019 Facebook Page at facebook.com\/MichiganSenateDemocrats<\/a><\/u><\/span>.<\/div>\n
