The Trump administration’s cancellation of foreign aid in poor, volatile regions has already led to an uptick in “criminality, sexual violence, and instances of human trafficking,” U.S. diplomats have told the State Department. The U.S. had contributed nearly half of the UN World Food Program’s budget, but the administration has ended funding for the program in several countries, leading to slashed rations and starving children who resemble “walking skeletons,” the WFP’s Kenya country director said. Staff at U.S. embassies in several African and Middle Eastern countries have warned that the withdrawal of foreign aid could destabilize regions, leave an opening for terrorist groups and endanger U.S. security interests. A State Department spokesperson said, “No one can reasonably expect the United States to be equipped to feed every person on earth or be responsible for providing medication for every living human.” (ProPublica)
A group of young people who have used the courts to block state policies friendly to fossil fuel production are suing the Trump administration over several executive orders that roll back Biden-era climate efforts. Represented by Our Children’s Trust, a nonprofit law practice, the plaintiffs say the orders violate their constitutional “rights to life and liberty by infringing on their health, safety, and prospects for the future,” and that the president cannot “unilaterally override federal laws like the Clean Air Act.” Some of the plaintiffs are from Montana, where the state supreme court upheld one of their previous court victories and where the country’s only coal plant without modern pollution controls has been given an exemption from a Biden-era requirement to install them.

Mental Health: The Saks Fifth Avenue Foundation’s mission is to make mental health a priority in every community, especially those where support is most needed. The Foundation’s Local Grant Program supports U.S.-based, local organizations serving the mental health of those in need. Support will be provided for ten organizations focused on increasing awareness and education, improving access to care, and building protective factors. Grants range from $10,000 to $30,000; application deadline July 1.
Green Spaces: The Lots of Compassion Grant program, an initiative of KidsGardening and Mrs. Meyer’s Clean Day, provides support in the United States, including U.S. territories, to local leaders looking to transform vacant lots into gardens to help grow compassion in their community. Supported projects should work with or serve communities with a majority of individuals that are under-resourced, have fifteen or more people participate in the garden program, and use the funds to build a garden on a vacant lot. Ten grantees will receive $20,000 each; application deadline June 16.
