Members of Congress need to hear from YOU TODAY about your support of U.S. international assistance and opposition to the over $8 billion immediate funding cut – rescissions package – to international assistance submitted by the Administration in late May. Join us in asking Congress to oppose the rescissions package, which terminates funding that saves lives and makes America safer, stronger, and more prosperous.
The Administration has called on Congress to immediately cut more than $8 billion of international assistance funding that Congress had already approved!
These cuts are not hypothetical or just a proposal. Without urgent action by your lawmakers, critical resources that Congress has already approved will be stripped away – including economic, development, health, and humanitarian programs.
Congress has an important role to play in ensuring critical investments in international assistance continue to advance American interests and make our country safer, stronger and more prosperous.
Now is the time to urge Members of Congress to oppose further deep and disproportionate cuts to international assistance and consider smart reforms to maximize the impact of every taxpayer dollar.
As Congress takes action to consider the Administration’s rescissions package, it is urgent that you and your networks take action to protect international assistance and safeguard America's future.
This is a critical moment for Americans to speak out on the imperative for strong U.S. leadership on the global stage. The Administration submitted an immediate budget cut of over $8 billion of international assistance funding in late May. The House will vote on the bill during the week of June 9th, and the Senate will vote on it later in the month.
When U.S. international affairs resources are spent wisely, effectively, and strategically, the benefits to Americans are clear – we are better equipped to outcompete rivals such as China, prevent threats from reaching our shores, save lives in countries around the world, and strengthen our own economy.
America’s rivals are playing to win, and this rescissions package plays right into their hands while taking strategic, cost-effective tools off the table.
Members of Congress will be making critical decisions on international assistance funding in June. Now is the time for your voice to be heard. Strong U.S. engagement around the world makes America win!
Mobilize your organization, community, donors and networks to speak out and engage others to oppose further cuts to international assistance.
Join with business and faith leaders, veterans, farmers, NGOs, implementers, and local elected and community leaders from around the country to take action in support of U.S. international assistance.
Together we can urge Congress to protect U.S. international assistance, global health, and humanitarian programs that save lives and make America #SaferStronger and more prosperous.
