An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Restore and Protect USAID

2 so far! Help us get to 5 signers!

America voted for change (by a small margin, not a mandate), but not at a billionaire’s whim. Congress should decide how we spend our money, but instead, casual cruelty has replaced debate and accountability. No matter who signs the order or sends the emails, no one should be allowed to disappear an agency like USAID over a weekend. At under 1% of the budget, the highly skilled and dedicated USAID team at home and abroad has saved millions of lives, prevented wars, and helped feed America’s farmers. USAID is not the problem. But Trump and his billionaire advisers have to find scapegoats to hide their self-serving priorities. It’s not about waste. It’s about how they can get more money and power. They don’t care about the rest of us. Congress must restore and protect USAID and the way we make decisions. Resist the billionaires. Reject appeasement every step of the way.
