On January 28, 2025, a memorandum was released from the White House Office of Management and Budget that,“Federal agencies must temporarily pause all activities related to the disbursement of Federal financial assistance.” Although that edict was rescinded, some funding sources remain unavailable.

In this episode, Allyson and Kenn discuss the ripple effect of this decision, how it affects our partners and how we, as a collaborative network, can lean on each other for support, wisdom and encouragement to keep pushing toward our shared goal of clean and clear by 2040.
