Save PEPFAR and The Global Health Fund, vote NO on rescissions
To: Rep. Cohen
From: A constituent in Bartlett, TN
June 10
As your constituent, I urge you to vote NO and encourage all representatives to vote NO on the June 3rd $9.4 billion rescissions package that would cut critical hundreds of millions in funding for global health programs like PEPFAR and UNICEF that Congress approved on a bipartisan basis for fiscal year 2025.
I would like to see the Global Fund receive about $2 billion in US federal spending, which amounts to about $6 per American per year, and adding that to the needed funding for PEPFAR… that amounts to only $20 per American per year.
$20 a year to save millions upon millions of lives is the bargain of a lifetime.
Constituents in your district want you to be intentional with spending, by allocating funding to the things that matter. Saving lives matters.
