Dear friend,

Families across the globe are experiencing unprecedented levels of
hardship. From extreme weather to severe hunger and conflict-related
violence, humanitarian crises are stripping children of an education,
families of a home, and communities of prosperity.

Yet, this last fiscal year, Congress reduced funding for development work
by over 10%. This lack of funding has directly impacted
resilience-building programs worldwide that are critical to helping
communities combat hunger, poverty, and climate-related emergencies.

[ [link removed] ]Congress must act now: Tell your representatives to protect funding for
programs that promote sustainable development, reduce poverty, and help
communities prosper around the globe.

Currently, there are more than 362 million people in need of humanitarian
assistance — of whom more than 309 million face chronic hunger and at
least 117 million face displacement due to conflict, extreme weather, and
economic volatility.

U.S. global investments in resilience-building programs are key to
improving vulnerable communities. The programs help families recover from
catastrophes, better prepare for weather emergencies, reduce malnutrition
and food insecurity, and help communities grow stronger, safer, and
healthier.

Studies show that for every $1 invested in these resilience-building
programs, the U.S. saves roughly $3 in future humanitarian aid by avoiding
losses early.

Right now, our country’s leaders are debating and drafting final decisions
ahead of the next fiscal year’s budget deadline. You have the opportunity
to make your voice heard in this critical decision-making process.

[ [link removed] ]Urge your representative to protect critical funding for programs that
help communities withstand conflict, natural disasters, and economic
shocks.

Thank you for taking action,

The Mercy Corps team
