Portland-Area Humanitarian Organization Vows To Continue Work Despite Trump Cuts
(Portland, OR) -- A Portland-area humanitarian organization is vowing to continue its work despite cuts by the Trump administration. According to the non-profit Mercy Corps, 40 of its 62 federally funded humanitarian programs have been terminated. Nonprofit officials say this prevents life-saving aid from being sent to people in crisis zones around the world, including Gaza, Afghanistan, Sudan, Somalia and Iraq, among others. The organization plans to lobby Congress in an effort to restore the funding.
