Tell Congress: Stop the Cuts to Humanitarian Aid Humanitarian aid makes up less than 1% of the U.S. federal budget. Yet it saves lives through humanitarian programs that provide basic needs to refugees and people experiencing conflict, natural disasters, and hunger. It also strengthens national security and supports our economy. But since President Trump took office, the attacks on humanitarian aid have been unprecedented and breathtakingly cruel — from the shutdown of USAID to the rescission of billions of dollars of aid that Congress had approved. Now, President Trump is trying to slash this budget even further in the upcoming budget for the government’s new fiscal year, doubling down on the devastating cuts already made this year.

Yes No Personalize Your Message {contact_data~salutation}, For decades, the United States has been the world’s largest provider of foreign aid, providing food, water, medicine, and other basic needs to people experiencing conflict, crisis, and displacement. This assistance has saved literally millions of lives across the globe and reflected the best of our country’s values to the world – all for less than one percent of our annual budget. Now this proud, bipartisan legacy is at risk. Billions of dollars of Congressionally appropriated funds have been cut this year, leaving countless refugees and displaced and conflict-affected people without the basic support they were counting on to survive and ultimately, to have the hope of rebuilding their lives. But you have the power to do something about this. That is why, as your constituent, I’m asking you to please support robust foreign aid funding in the FY26 budget.
