Congress, #DontCutLives!

#DontCutLives

Vote Imminent: A crucial spending bill that determines U.S. foreign assistance funding is headed to the House floor for a vote. Back up our advocates on Capitol Hill today!

The Trump Administration's latest budget would slash crucial U.S. foreign aid funding by 24 percent at a time when humanitarian crises are worsening, millions are without food, and the number of refugees worldwide reaches a record-high.

Congress has the power to protect these lifesaving programs and they need to do that now. But they won't stand up for lifesaving accounts unless they hear from you.

The White House has proposed a 24 percent cut to critical foreign assistance programs for the Fiscal Year 2020. Such cuts would disproportionately affect the world's most vulnerable communities, which is why I'm calling on you to reject any cuts to these lifesaving accounts. 
 
I am deeply opposed to cuts to these important programs that save millions of lives, represent the face of America abroad and help to promote a safer world. Lifesaving foreign assistance funding represents roughly one percent of the federal budget -- just one cent of the federal budget dollar -- and it is critical to the U.S. being a reliable partner and leader in the world.
 
These low-cost programs save millions of lives every year, address the root causes of poverty, decrease dependency and build stronger, more resilient societies. Beyond saving countless lives, our own nation's security is benefited by alleviating suffering and decreasing poverty to create a more stable and prosperous world. That is why I support an overall foreign assistance budget of $59.1 billion, on par with recent funding levels, in order to preserve these critical programs. 
 
Foreign aid saves lives -- and right now, it's time to save foreign aid. I call on Congress to protect foreign assistance funding in all budget negotiations and to pass a budget in FY2020 that protects lives, supports our national security and maintains our nation's leadership in the world.

Sincerely,
