We will be calling South Asian voters living in swing districts represented by Republicans to ask them to contact their representatives about the huge funding cuts that the Trump administration is proposing to the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation. The Trump administration plans to cut 38% from the NIH and 55% from the NSF. Furthermore, they are delaying the spending of congressionally appropriated money, such that 3.8 billion dollars of scientific funding has been withheld from the NIH alone, compared with the same time last year.
We will also be calling states represented by moderate Republican Senators to ask them to oppose the defunding of NPR and PBS in the recissions package.
