The American Red Cross has announced plans to reduce its workforce by approximately 2,900 positions across the United States. This decision is a direct result of a shift in funding priorities under the current administration, specifically under the ‘America First’ policy. The Red Cross will significantly reduce its operational budget, impacting various programs and services. The organization anticipates a reduction in overall spending, potentially leading to decreased services available to communities reliant on the Red Cross’s support. The move is being viewed as a strategic adjustment to ensure long-term financial stability.
