Urge your representative: Reject the President's proposed cuts to foreign aid
This month, President Trump introduced a deeply concerning budget proposal that slashes foreign assistance by 22%. This request is short-sighted and counterproductive. Foreign aid saves millions of lives worldwide and it is a low-cost investment that has significant benefits for Americans, including stability, security, and prosperity.
This proposal also comes at a time when we are seeing some disturbing global trends. Nearly 70 million people have been forced from their homes due to conflict and persecution, a number that continues to rise year after year as conflicts endure. Over 820 million people went to sleep hungry in 2019. Now, more than ever, we cannot afford to cut the important work that helps alleviate human suffering and empowers communities with the tools they need to lift themselves out of poverty.
Urge your representative to reject the President’s proposed cuts and ensure that foreign aid is fully funded.
