April 2025: Write to Congress to preserve, maintain, and protect global aid

Congress is the first line of defense to preserve, maintain, and protect and support global anti-poverty programs. The appropriations process to determine the budget for Fiscal Year 2026 (FY26) is happening now. Most of the money is already earmarked for mandatory programs like Social Security and Medicare. A smaller portion of the budget is flexible “discretionary spending,” and can be spent on programs Congress considers a priority. Poverty alleviation is a top priority. We must tell our members of Congress to preserve, protect, and maintain and increaseglobal health and anti-poverty development funding. Take action today. We’ll show you how! (Word version)
