“President Trump’s decision to freeze federal funding for vital programs that has disrupted Medicaid and early childhood education, while threatening food assistance and other services for Americans, is irresponsible and creating chaos.
With New Yorkers now locked out of Medicaid and Head Start portals, residents and providers are already feeling the impacts of this abusive overreach that helps no one and harms many.
“From our students and families to older adults and veterans, this sudden halt of federal aid will further endanger our economy and the health and safety of all New Yorkers. This intentionally cruel and incompetent action demands a clear, swift, and coordinated response from the mayoral administration, together with our state and congressional partners, and localities throughout the nation, to protect the critical services families depend on.”
