The Trump administration's rescission package, H.R. 4, poses a grave threat to critical programs that provide life-saving aid and support to millions around the world. This bill aims to codify drastic cuts to public broadcasting, global health initiatives like the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), international disaster relief, refugee assistance, and economic development programs. Funds previously approved by Congress for these vital efforts would be clawed back, with devastating consequences. As a constituent, I urge you to reject H.R. 4 and preserve the allocated funding for these essential programs that uplift vulnerable communities globally. Protecting public broadcasting ensures access to educational and informative content, while global health initiatives have saved countless lives. Foreign aid facilitates disaster response, supports democratic values, and fosters stability. These investments reflect our nation's humanitarian principles and leadership role. I implore you to safeguard these congressionally approved funds and oppose the administration's misguided attempt to undermine them through H.R. 4.
