The proposed Rescissions Act of 2025 aims to rescind or cancel almost $8.7 billion in previously appropriated funds for various international aid programs and domestic initiatives. This extensive rescission package would critically undermine America's global leadership, humanitarian efforts, and commitments to development, democracy promotion, and crisis response worldwide. It would also jeopardize funding for essential public services like public broadcasting in the United States. This draconian legislation warrants strong opposition as it would inflict severe damage on vital foreign policy tools and domestic priorities. The substantial cuts to global health initiatives, refugee assistance, disaster relief, democratic governance programs, and international financial commitments represent an alarming retreat from upholding American values and advancing stability across the globe. Furthermore, the elimination of funding for public broadcasting threatens a crucial source of educational and cultural programming for millions of Americans. In light of these concerning implications, I urge you to vote against the Rescissions Act of 2025. This bill's sweeping cuts to critical international and domestic programs are detrimental to America's interests and standing in the world. Instead, I implore you to support robust funding for initiatives that promote global security, human rights, sustainable development, and public access to information and education. Rejecting this rescission package is essential to safeguarding America's leadership role and commitment to democratic values both at home and abroad.
