Global Poverty Budget & Appropriations

We are in the final month of our First 100 Days Campaign goals of meeting with 100 percent of the Senate and 75 percent of the House. We are well into the appropriations process, which includes appropriations requests and appropriations sign-on letters. Use this action sheet to make your  appropriations asks of your members of Congress so that global poverty priorities can be front and center as FY22 spending is considered. Use our appropriations memos and laser talks to help you craft your spending requests, and get support for making sign-on letter requests from our blog. (Word version)

It’s time to meet with Congress and generate media. (Word Version)
