Advocate today! Let Congress know you care about helping our sisters and brothers experiencing hunger and malnutrition to thrive!
U.S. international aid provides lifesaving food assistance in emergencies and supports long-term development programs that help communities build resilience to overcome the challenges of hunger. At a time when global hunger and poverty are on the rise, we must act now to ensure communities around the world can access nutritious food, strengthen agricultural livelihoods and improve food security.
As the Dec. 20 extended deadline for federal appropriations draws near, your voice is needed more than ever to protect hunger-reducing international assistance!
The House has proposed steep cuts to many of the humanitarian and development accounts that are critical for addressing global hunger. While the Senate has largely proposed to maintain foreign assistance, until Congress finalizes fiscal year 2025 appropriations, it is essential that CRS supporters continue to advocate on this critical funding.
Email your U.S. members of Congress, urging them to ensure the highest funding levels possible for hunger-reducing international humanitarian and development assistance in the fiscal year 2025 budget.
By lifting your voice today, you help:
• Smallholder farmers improve their crops so that they can earn a living and feed their families.
• Children receive the daily nutrition they need to grow and reach developmental milestones.
• Communities access emergency food aid during hunger crises caused by conflict and climate change.
Thank you for raising your voice to make a difference in the lives of our sisters and brothers experiencing severe hunger and malnutrition.
