Hey Congress, don't cut lives short

2X Flash Match Ends at 11:59 pm. [View Online]( [Tomorrow is too late.]( [CARE Action]( [If this teeny budget is slashed, millions of lives could be lost.]( The tiny budget: The U.S. foreign assistance budget is only 1% of the total U.S. federal budget – that’s just one penny on the federal dollar. The BIG, BIG problem: U.S. leadership has proposed an 11% cut to this budget - or roughly $7 billion less dollars for poverty-fighting aid to millions of people… families displaced by disaster, children suffering from hunger, women single-handedly trying to keep their families healthy and fed. What we must do: This proposal goes to the rest of the House next – if it’s approved, millions of lives will be on the line. Don't let Congress cut lives short. [This Weekend Only: 2X Match]( [2X MATCH - GIVE NOW]( CARE advocates are doing everything we can to keep Congress from cutting lives short. We’re writing letters, sending emails, making phone calls, and getting in front of members of Congress. [Your gift DOUBLES our impact together to save lives.]( 🎉 Real wins when CARE advocates fight back 🎉 In April, the U.S. Congress passed desperately needed humanitarian aid for people in Ukraine, Haiti, Gaza, Sudan, and many other conflict-affected and food-scarce areas. Foreign assistance – the budget Congress could cut – actually builds the resilience of these communities before crisis strikes, reducing the need for more emergency funding later on. CARE and its advocates were instrumental in this victory. [Your support]( helped us get in front of key decision-makers ahead of the vote and rallied more than 35,000 individual emails sent to members of Congress. Because of your voice and your support, the U.S. approved funding to deliver emergency relief to people in their greatest hour of need.
