Let your members of Congress know that you are deeply concerned about our global family living in poverty. Catholic faith leaders from across the country are advocating this week on Capitol Hill. Help amplify their message by sending an email to Congress!
As people of faith, we are called to uphold human dignity and build a world where all people can reach their God-given potential. One way we can support people in need is by advocating for U.S. international aid. This funding provides lifesaving assistance in emergencies and supports long-term development programs that help families and communities build resilience, reducing the need for humanitarian aid in the future.
The extended deadline for passing the federal budget expires in just a few weeks! Tell Congress to pass fiscal year 2025 appropriations now and ensure the highest funding levels possible for international poverty-reducing humanitarian and development assistance in fiscal years 2025 and 2026.
By lifting your voice today, you help:
- Families and children access emergency food aid during a crisis.
- Smallholder farmers improve their crops so that they can earn a living and feed their families.
- Communities strengthen their capacity and ability to provide for their own needs.
Thank you for taking action today! Together, our collective voices can make a greater impact on policies that support the common good.
