AACN Joins Effort to Protect Non-Defense Discretionary Funding
As Congress continues to address the challenge of reducing the federal deficit, wide-spread support to protect funding for non-defense discretionary (NDD) programs remains imperative. AACN has joined a wider “NDD community” comprised of nearly 3,000 local, state, and federal organizations collaborating to voice the urgency of a “balanced-approach” toward impending sequestration. NDD programs provide our nation with core education, health, scientific research, public safety, and job training programs. To read the NDD community’s letter to Congress, click here.
