Stand with States Defending Disaster Relief

Hi friend,

In case you missed it, a coalition of 11 states and Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear just filed a major lawsuit to stop the Trump administration from using disaster relief funding as a political weapon.

States warn that these changes could gut emergency management capacity, especially in rural and low-income areas — putting millions of people at risk the next time disaster strikes.

Instead of backing down, these leaders are standing up.

They’re taking Trump to court to protect their residents, defend the Constitution, and make clear that disaster relief belongs to the people — not to any president’s political agenda.

This fight is about safety, fairness, and basic decency. And they shouldn’t have to stand alone.

✍️ Add your name to stand with these states and Governor Beshear — and demand that the federal government protect every community’s right to disaster relief, emergency readiness, and public safety.

Thank you for standing with us!

In solidarity,

Emily from The Smile
