Contact your Representative to Defend Reproductive Health
Hi Friend,
Last week, Congresswoman Chrissy Houlahan (D-PA-06) reintroduced the Support UNFPA Funding Act. This bill would authorize funding to the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), which is the United Nations’ sexual and reproductive health agency.
It only takes a few minutes to email your members of Congress to ask them to co-sponsor the Support the UNFPA Funding Act.
We must remind our elected officials that we will hold them accountable for protecting our reproductive freedom. Please take a moment to email your representatives TODAY to urge them to co-sponsor the Support UNFPA Funding Act now.
In solidarity,
Lauren Salmiery National Field Director she/her/hers
Hi Friend,
Last week, Congresswoman Chrissy Houlahan (D-PA-06) reintroduced the Support UNFPA Funding Act (H.R. 2439). This bill would authorize funding to the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), which is the United Nations’ sexual and reproductive health agency.
UNFPA works in over 150 countries to end preventable maternal deaths, address the unmet need for contraception, and stop gender-based violence and other harmful practices, including female genital mutilation and child marriage.
Earlier this year, the Trump Administration terminated nearly all U.S. funding for UNFPA’s vital work. As the largest government donor to UNFPA’s critical programs, this funding cut is devastating for UNFPA’s lifesaving programs around the world.
This legislation would ensure U.S. funding for the crucial work of UNFPA, which helps ensure that every pregnancy is wanted, every childbirth is safe, and the potential of every person is realized. UNFPA’s work is essential to building a safer, healthier, and more sustainable world.
We must remind our elected officials that we will hold them accountable for protecting our reproductive freedom. Please take a moment to email your representatives TODAY to urge them to co-sponsor the Support UNFPA Funding Act now.
In solidarity,
Lauren Salmiery National Field Director she/her/hers
