Senate Vote Expected: Only Days Left to Act
Todres, Nadia for CRS
There is no time to waste. Next week is Congress's deadline to act on the White House's request to cancel lifesaving funding for international assistance, called rescissions.
The House of Representatives has already voted on and passed the request for cuts, which means your action is critically needed to move the Senate to oppose cuts to lifesaving humanitarian assistance.
If passed, these cuts would eliminate support for pregnant mothers and their children, emergency food, infectious disease prevention and opportunities for our human family to move out of poverty.
The Senate is expected to vote in a matter of days. Your voice can make the difference.
Over the last month, thousands of people around the country have raised their voices to preserve international poverty-reducing assistance from these cuts, with many more mobilizing to meet with, call and email their senators during this critical week for action.
Urge the Senate to push back and oppose canceling funding for lifesaving international assistance programs today!
