Hi John,

Today is April Fools Day. It’s important to keep your guard up for pranks, hoaxes and scams. But do you know what is not a joke? The administration signaling it intends to cut funding for global vaccine programs that have vaccinated more than 1.1 billion children over the last 25 years.

Will you sign our petition to show your support? The text reads:

We know that foreign assistance works. US global health programs have long saved millions of lives and promoted stability worldwide. They also protect Americans and reduce the threat of emerging diseases reaching our shores.

This is what makes the decision by the administration to terminate programs that save and change lives all the more short-sighted. It’s clear that this is a make-or-break moment for the US and the world.

What can you do to help us continue to fight back? Get loud! Sign and share our petition to spread the word. Let’s tell our leaders – and the world – that we are not joking around about the importance of US foreign assistance.

Thanks for everything.

Kelli Meyer, ONE
