Senators Capito and Manchin, #DontCutLives!

#DontCutLives

Every 90 seconds, a woman dies from a pregnancy-related complication – we can prevent the vast majority of these deaths. By helping women around the world time and space their pregnancies, we can reduce maternal deaths by 30% and save over 1.6 million children's lives every year.

Ask Senators Capito and Manchin to stand up for women and girls around the world by supporting bipartisan efforts to fund international family planning programs as they consider this year's budget.

I am writing as a supporter of CARE and a West Virginian to ask that you vote to support international family planning amendments during the mark up of the FY2018 State and Foreign Operations Appropriations Bill.

Every 90 seconds, a woman dies from a pregnancy-related complication, while 220 million women around the world who would like to time and space their pregnancies do not have access to modern contraceptive methods. Meeting this unmet need for contraception would reduce maternal deaths by 30 percent, and save the lives of 1.6 million children under the age of five every year. Providing women access to voluntary family planning services saves lives.

As the Senate Appropriations Committee Marks up the FY2018 State and Foreign Operations (SFOPs) Appropriations Bill, I urge you to support the bipartisan amendments that will provide women and girls around the world the tools they need to lead healthy, productive lives. Please stand up for continued U.S. support for international family planning programs.

Now, more than ever, the world needs U.S. leadership to ensure that the world's most vulnerable have the tools and care that they need to survive. I am counting on you to preserve that leadership.

Thank you,

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."
