Dear [Decision Maker],

* Personalize your message

I am a supporter of CARE and I am urging you to support funding for the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA). UNFPA is the largest provider of reproductive healthcare globally, and the Trump Administration's decision to halt U.S. funding to UNFPA will have a life or death impact on countless women and girls around the world.

UNFPA is a leader in ending preventable child and maternal deaths worldwide. Working in more than 150 countries, UNFPA programs train doctors and midwives, provide voluntary family planning, provide prenatal and antenatal care and combat harmful traditional practices like child marriage and female genital mutilation. Last year, UNFPA provided medical care to over 20 million people, averted 29,000 maternal deaths, trained 5,200 midwives and worked to end child marriage in 12 countries.

UNFPA is also a critical player in humanitarian settings and fragile states, where the majority of maternal and neonatal deaths take place. In 2016 alone, U.S. funding helped UNFPA deliver lifesaving care to mothers and their babies in Syria and in neighboring countries like Yemen, South Sudan, Somalia, Iraq and many others.

UNFPA is often the only provider of maternal health services in areas of conflict and disaster, and has a sterling track record for providing high quality care. In the U.S.-funded UNFPA clinic in the Zaatari Refugee Camp in Jordan, for example, more than 7,500 babies have been delivered without a single maternal death.

In a global landscape facing increasing conflict and uncertainty, now is not the time to abandon some of the world's most vulnerable populations. I urge you to stand up for women and girls around the world by standing up for UNFPA and supporting continued U.S. funding for this critical organization.

Sincerely,

Mission Statement

The world is one connected community. As citizens of that community, we believe that global poverty is a social injustice that affects us all. And it is our duty to improve the lives of the world’s most marginalized. To give them the opportunity to thrive, prosper and to live a life with dignity and security.

Backed by decades-deep expertise, data and a nationwide network, Care Action! and its member advocates are igniting a movement and producing positive change.

We are motivated, mobilized and unified. We champion effective solutions that influence minds, affect policies and touch lives.

We thrive on collaboration, connecting people and ideas. Join us and together our voices will create even more good.

"For me, advocating for CARE translates my passion and energy to make a meaningful impact on the issues that mean the most to me. It allows me to achieve a level of personal fulfillment that I cannot replicate in anything else I do."
