Thank Judge McConnell for Blocking Trump’s Funding Freeze

We express our deepest gratitude to U.S. District Judge John McConnell Jr. for his bold decision to block the Trump administration’s unconstitutional attempt to freeze federal funding. By standing firm against this blatant overreach of executive power, Judge McConnell has upheld the rule of law, protected essential financial assistance, and reinforced the separation of powers enshrined in our Constitution.

Trump’s funding freeze threatened critical resources for states, nonprofits, small businesses, and public services. Even after facing legal challenges, the administration attempted to sidestep the courts and continue its harmful agenda. Judge McConnell’s ruling made it clear: no president can unilaterally override Congress and undermine essential funding programs.

We stand with Judge McConnell in defending our democracy against executive overreach. Sign this petition to thank him for his unwavering commitment to justice and for ensuring that vital federal aid reaches the people who need it most.
