⚠️ Your help is urgently needed! The administration has terminated thousands of foreign assistance programs overnight. Some of these programs provide critical, lifesaving aid to our sisters and brothers facing hunger, religious persecution, conflict and other affronts to their human dignity.
The situation is dire. Lifesaving measures have been stopped without warning, leading to confusion, chaos, potential harm and risk of death among the most vulnerable. As food distributions are halted, people are going hungry. Without treatment for acute malnutrition, children will die. Entire communities are without shelter and clean water. Farmers are unable to plant crops. Mothers and their young children are losing access to critical health care.
As Catholics, we are called to protect people living in poverty. Catholic social teaching emphasizes the responsibility of wealthier nations to support poorer ones, and the principle of solidarity—that we are a global community and one human family. This belief recognizes that the fates of people everywhere are interconnected. Let us stand together with our global family in their time of greatest need.
➡️ Please urge the administration to halt and reverse all terminations of active foreign assistance programs that target the most vulnerable and immediately resume the disbursement of Congressionally appropriated foreign assistance funds.
