Why We're Suing Donald Trump
Hi Meidas Mighty,
My name is Diane Yentel, and I am the President & CEO of the National Council of Nonprofits. I wanted to provide you with all the details on why we decided to sue Donald Trump.
I had been at my job for three weeks when I knew we needed to sue the president.
I joined the National Council of Nonprofits (NCN), an organization dedicated to setting up the nation’s charitable nonprofits to succeed, as its new president and CEO on January 7. Three weeks later, Elon Musk, DOGE, and the White House Office of Management and Budget issued a directive to, within 24 hours, pause all federal government payments to nonprofits. I worked throughout the night with partners at Democracy Forward and others for NCN to be ready by the next morning to file a lawsuit and stop this reckless, potentially catastrophic action by the administration.
Now, in addition to spending my days identifying ways nonprofits can collaborate, innovate and thrive, I’m hearing from thousands of nonprofits nationwide about how the federal funding freeze and other actions by the administration are affecting them.
