Trump Administration Cuts Flow of Tax Dollars Funneled to Leftist Gun Control Orgs and NGOs.<\/a><\/p>\n

The\u00a0Trump administration\u00a0has released solicitations for a grant program meant to stop gun violence in underserved communities. But this year, the non-profits the grant was built around are disqualified from applying, according to an application notice released by the Department of Justice (DoJ) in September.<\/p>\n

The Community Based Violence Intervention and Prevention Initiative (CVIPI), was created in 2022, to support groups working in rural and urban communities struggling to address violence and fund research studying the programs\u2019 efficacy.<\/p>\n

The pioneering program was born out of a recognition by the Biden administration that such community-centered programs were among the most successful tools in combating the US\u2019 deep-rooted gun violence problem, and had played a crucial role in helping reduce homicides in major US cities.<\/p>\n

Before Trump\u2019s inauguration, community-based organizations, non-profits and local and state governments were eligible to apply for the grant. Now, only city, county and tribal governments are allowed. And the stated goal of the program has been changed from \u201ccomprehensive, community-based prevention\u201d to \u201csupports law enforcement efforts to reduce violent crime and improve police-community relations\u201d.<\/p>\n

Since 2022, the federal government has awarded more than $300m to over 120 non-profits, city and county governments and research institutions through the initiative, according to\u00a0an archived list<\/a>\u00a0of grant recipients.<\/p>\n

The department of justice, which oversees CVIPI, did not respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n

The changes at CVIPI are the latest in the Trump administration\u2019s heel-turn from the Biden administration\u2019s approach to gun violence prevention, which positioned Black and Latino-led groups working to address violence as legitimate solutions to crime in the nation\u2019s hardest hit locales. Shortly after his inauguration, Trump dismantled the\u00a0White House office of gun violence prevention, and in March his administration removed the former surgeon general Vivek Murthy\u2019s advisory on gun violence as a public health issue from the US Department of Health and Human Services\u2019 website.<\/p>\n
