I 100% agree with @brianbeutler.bsky.social. Beutler's point on Dem messaging: placid, conceptual, cliche-ridden blah blah language, which sounds like the parents in Peanuts, isn't going to inspire action. Period.

The science and health implications of these cuts are critical, of course. But I think the economic impacts are where the pushback can be most effective. #science #NIH #health

3/We can share with media, policymakers, community orgs in those states and nationally. And we can update these snapshots as things change.

2/Explanations cannot be full of jargon and conceptualizations, but must clearly focus on what people will lose, at granular level, with data to back it up. Snapshots should also include questions that people can ask their R Senators about why they supported these ignorant administration decisions.

Great to see this shift! From the NCFP five-year benchmark survey: "More donors are employing what we are calling “principle-based” practices, meaning foundations are weaving accountability, equity,
reflection and learning, and relationships into their governance, grantmaking, and operations."
