Keep America Safe Coalition: Urgent Advocacy Update on OMB Freeze
The Office of Management and Budget has frozen FY2025 funding for five key Injury Center programs:
Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs)
Firearm violence prevention research
Youth violence prevention
Injury Control Research Centers
Injury Prevention Activities (which funds the Core State Injury Prevention Program)
Sharon Gilmartin and Paul Bonta of the Safe States Alliance explain what is happening and what actions you can take now to urge Congress to immediately restore the funding streams to these programs.
