Hi John,

April 15 might bring some groans, today is Tax Day after all, but it is also a chance to remember the good your dollars do.

A small portion of your tax dollars add up to funding for proven programs that save lives around the world. Thanks to US investments in global health, countries are enabled to be self-reliant, with healthy populations that power healthy economies.

In DC, your tax dollars helped save 201,307 lives from HIV/AIDS, vaccinated 1,293,476 children against preventable diseases, and distributed 409,150 bed nets to fight the spread of malaria. And all of this was achieved with just a tiny slice of the federal budget.

Just yesterday, more reports emerged that the administration will seek to gut these lifesaving, cost-effective programs. Such efforts are not only short-sighted—they’re dangerous.

Will you take a moment to stand up for what works? Sign our petition now to reinforce that the US must support smart, effective foreign assistance programs. Let’s make sure America continues to be a force for good in the world.

Thank you as always.
