Tell Congress to restore USAID funding now!

In February 2025, the U.S. government slashed funding for USAID. The consequences were immediate and deadly. Clinics closed, food aid stalled, and people died from illnesses we know how to prevent. This was not a bureaucratic delay. It was a political choice.

USAID funds emergency food, maternal health care, clean water, and treatment for diseases like HIV and cholera. When that funding was cut, life-saving systems collapsed overnight. Reuters reports that in Kenya, severely malnourished children were left without treatment. In Malawi, pregnant women are being turned away from care.

A New Yorker investigation found that the shutdown of USAID has already been linked to hundreds of thousands of deaths worldwide, driven by hunger, untreated disease, and the collapse of basic health services. These were preventable deaths. These were people who would be alive if aid had not been cut.

Even Congress is demanding answers. In November, Representative Gregory Meeks called for an investigation into reports that food aid was wasted while people starved because programs were dismantled without planning or accountability.

Congress is negotiating funding right now. Lawmakers can still reverse these cuts before more lives are lost.

Add your name to demand Congress restore full funding for USAID immediately. 

Stop using hunger and disease as political weapons.

Thanks,
