Reinstitute USAID

Humanitarian Leadership at Risk USAID has saved millions through food aid, health programs, and disaster relief. With operations shut down, 5-10 million lives are at immediate risk. Malnutrition will rise, diseases will spread, and crises will deepen. Suspending programs weakens long-term recovery, making future emergencies worse. Harm to U.S. Employees and Global Partners The shutdown has left thousands of USAID employees and contractors without work, disrupting their expertise and service. Local and international partners face funding gaps, forcing closures, layoffs, and abandoned aid projects. Losing these professionals weakens America’s ability to respond to global challenges. Weakening U.S. Global Influence With USAID inactive, U.S. humanitarian leadership is eroding. China and Russia are filling the void, using aid to expand influence and shift global alliances. If USAID remains shut down, America’s presence in strategic regions will diminish, making it harder to advance U.S. interests and values. Threats to Stability and U.S. Security Without USAID, fragile nations face worsening hunger, economic collapse, and conflict, fueling migration and instability. This will increase pressures on Europe and the U.S., heighten security risks, and make future crises more expensive to manage. Economic Impact on the U.S. USAID supports tens of thousands of American jobs in agriculture, manufacturing, and logistics. U.S. businesses provide food, medicine, and infrastructure for aid programs, generating billions in economic activity. Suspending USAID harms the U.S. economy, weakens trade relationships, and reduces global stability. Call to Action I urge you to reinstate USAID immediately, returning employees to work and resuming critical programs. Inaction will cost millions of lives, billions in economic damage, and America’s global leadership. Please support full funding and operational continuity so USAID can continue saving lives and strengthening stability.
