Act now to protect funding!

SSTI encourages its member organizations to sign onto a letter to Congress organized by NDD United, a broad coalition advocating for parity under sequestration for non-defense discretionary (NDD) funding and defense funding. The current leadership in Congress has made clear its priority to increase defense department spending at the expense of nondefense domestic spending, which includes programs under the EDA, SBA, NIST, NIH, NSF, the Department of Education, and more. Should this happen, many of the federal programs that TBED organizations rely on could be cut. NDD United is bringing together organizations from across the domestic funding space—from education to the sciences to transportation to housing—to ask Congress to protect non-defense domestic spending. SSTI encourages you to join us and hundreds of other organizations in signing on. View the full text of the letter here. To sign on, click here. The deadline to sign is January 27.
