As we continue to advocate for the future of Sudan and genocide prevention, budget cuts threaten to derail our work and put more lives at risk by reducing funding for on-the-ground aid to civilians.

Call 1-800-GENOCIDE (436-6243) now and ask your representative to oppose the drastic cuts to the foreign aid budget currently being considered by the House.

Last Friday, the House Appropriations Committee introduced a bill that would significantly cut funding for emergency food aid, refugee assistance, and broader genocide prevention efforts by nearly 50% across the board.  With foreign aid already less than 1% of the national budget, further cuts would have devastating consequences worldwide.

We need to let our Representatives know we will not STAND by while they cut life-saving assistance to the world's most at-risk populations.  Call 1-800-GENOCIDE now and ask your representative to ensure further cuts are not made to the foreign aid budget.

 

Together, we can send a message to Congress now that our movement will not back down when lives are on the line.  Call 1-800-GENOCIDE now and then let the rest of the movement know you made the call!

  

Thank you for your efforts,
