USCCB and CRS Ask Congress to Urge Administration to Resume Foreign Assistance Programs While Under Review

The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) and Catholic Relief Services (CRS) are urging Catholics to contact their senators and representative to voice their concern with the Administration’s recent decision to stop work on almost all U.S. foreign assistance programs.
The Administration has begun to issue immediate stop work orders on almost all foreign aid as they review State Department and USAID programs between now and April 20. New administrations usually review ongoing programs against their policy goals. However, ceasing almost all lifesaving humanitarian and development assistance during that time will have real impacts for human life and dignity and on U.S. national interests.
As people of faith, let us stand shoulder to shoulder with our sisters and brothers in need. Tell Congress to engage with the Administration to continue allowing foreign assistance programs to operate during the review process. To contact your legislators, click below: |
Thank you for speaking up to protect our brothers and sisters in need.
