Tell Congress: Reverse the Stop Work Order on Foreign Aid

From our friends at Catholic Relief Services:

The new Administration has issued immediate stop work orders on almost all foreign aid as programs are being reviewed. While Secretary of State Rubio issued an exemption for lifesaving humanitarian assistance, that has still not allowed for any assistance or funding to resume. Everything has stopped. We must continue to raise our voices to protect the lives of our sisters and brothers in need.

Your help is urgently needed! Let your members of Congress know that you are deeply concerned about the Administration’s recent decision to stop work on almost all U.S. foreign assistance programs. Secretary of State Rubio issued an exception for lifesaving humanitarian assistance, but that has still not allowed any assistance or funding to move so lifesaving work can continue. This freeze is impacting millions of our sisters and brothers who need access to lifesaving humanitarian, health and development assistance.
