A proposed policy change by the Trump administration may impact organizations in our local area that receive federal funding. The new policy aims to restrict the acknowledgment of trans individuals by these organizations. The Office of Management and Budget has introduced this proposal, citing the need to address "wasteful spending".

Further details on the proposed policy and its potential effects can be found through LGBTQ Nation. For now, it is known that organizations receiving federal financial assistance may be forced to choose between acknowledging trans people and risking loss of funding or complying with the new policy to maintain their funding.
