Subject: Urgent Action Needed: Stand Against Funding Cuts
Dear Friends,
I hope this message finds you well. I’m reaching out to share my concerns about a recent decision made by the federal government to significantly reduce funding for prevention, intervention, treatment, harm reduction, and recovery support services. This reduction, amounting to hundreds of millions of dollars, poses a serious threat to the care plans and recovery journeys of many individuals in our communities.
These services are not just crucial for personal recovery; they are foundational for the health and well-being of our entire community. Access to comprehensive support is essential for supporting resilience, reducing substance use, and promoting overall public health. Without these critical resources, we risk undermining the progress we’ve made together.
I urge you to take immediate action. Please call Congress at 202-224-3121 and express your disapproval of the funding cuts supported by Secretary Kennedy. Let them know that a healthy community depends on robust support systems for prevention and recovery.
Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter. Together, we can advocate for the resources that our communities desperately need.
Best regards,
Robert Bob Dorshimer
