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)

The House and Senate are currently in a reconciliation process that will allow them to pass a federal budget without a large majority in Congress. Congressional leadership is working out the framework of a unified budget resolution. We don’t know the specifics yet. But the current House budget resolution calls for deep cuts to key domestic anti-poverty programs. The Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and the Child Tax Credit (CTC) need support as well. The message is simple: it is urgent that Congress works to protect and strengthen SNAP and Medicaid and improve the CTC without cutting the EITC. Make a call to Congress today. We’ll show you how!
