An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Dismantling USAID is Illegal AND Deadly

1 so far! Help us get to 5 signers!

According to a study by the Lancet, dismantling USAID is projected to cause 14 million deaths in the next 5 years. That's as many people as died in WWI with one key difference - many more of these people will be women and children. DOGE and the Trump Administration did this illegally while Congress stood by and let it happen. USAID is a critical piece of how the US does the right thing while also exerting soft power. Dismantling USAID is deadly to millions, but it's also a massive failure of foreign policy. Insist that the Trump admin does not have the authority to kill USAID and insist that it be funded as directed by Congress!
