Wtf do we do about Trump’s Federal Grant Freeze???

Sociology PhD here. I know the reverberations of this economic policy are going to be felt throughout the entire economy. But it seems academia, especially research institutions, are going to be hit hard. How should the academic community respond? Should we try to mobilize as a community? Form an alliance with other communities impacted by this grant freeze? Something else?

I am in the last year of my program, and it feels like my world is being unmade right in front of me. I feel foolish for trying to be a social scientist, for trying to use research to solve social problems.
