From FCNL:
The impact of President Trump's budget legislation [https://www.fcnl.org/updates/2025-07/what-happened-and-whats-next-after-budget-reconciliation] will unfold over years. While changes to Medicaid, SNAP, and other programs won't take effect immediately, communities are bracing for immigration enforcement funding that will begin rolling out in 2025. The setback is devastating and worrisome, but it's not the end of the road.

Join us for a Voices for Migration call on Thursday, July 17th at 8pm ET, where we'll explain what's in the reconciliation legislation, known notable timelines, and ways advocates can push back. You and friends can register here: https://fcnl.actionkit.com/event/voices_for_migration/3381/.
