- Tell Congress: Don't cut aid. It's working.
- American poverty-fighting assistance saves lives and helps millions of people lift themselves out of poverty, all for less than 1% of the federal budget. Cutting aid won't close the budget gap -- but it will close the door on a better future for the world's most vulnerable communities. Speak up with us now: Tell Congress to oppose any cuts to lifesaving foreign aid.
- Support effective, efficient aid programs – they save lives.
- Right now, forty percent of the world’s population – more than 2.5 billion people – live in poverty, struggling to survive on less than $2 per day. The persistence of global poverty poses a challenge to the security, prosperity and values of the United States. Cuts to the world's most vulnerable communities have real impacts. Tell Congress we won't stand by while they make cuts that will cost lives.
