Dear John,

Too often, voice of those impacted by U.S. foreign policy are left out of
conversations in Washington. Take action to bring diversity to foreign policy discussions
[[link removed]] .

House Democrats will soon vote on leadership positions -- including the next
House Foreign Affairs (HFAC) Committee Chair. This position has enormous power
to shape foreign policy discussions, and it’is a prime opportunity to forge a
new path as we move beyond the damage done by Donald Trump.

Representative Joaquin Castro has made a strong commitment to bringing diverse
voices to discussions on foreign policy. As Chair, Rep. Castro will advance a
new vision for our nation’s role in the world.

Tell Congress: Make Rep. Joaquin Castro the new Chair of the House Foreign
Affairs Committee.

[[link removed]]As HFAC Chair, Rep. Castro would address the root cause of militarism and
centers on solutions for communities that have been harmed as a result of U.S.
policy.

It is time for the House Foreign Affairs Committee to make climate a centerpiece
of its agenda rather than an afterthought. Under Rep. Castro’s leadership, the committee would take serious action to
ensure that the United States contributes its fair share to mitigating the
climate crisis and ending support for overseas fossil fuels projects.

What's more, it is critical that the next HFAC Chair be committed to addressing
policies that previously led to massive military budgets, cruel immigration
policies, mass surveillance programs, and refugee crises. Latinx, Caribbean,
African American, Asian, and Muslim communities in our nation and around the
world need a leader who will be committed to turning the page on previous dark
chapters in history.

We need your help, John. Press your Representative to
make Rep. Castro HFAC Chair.

Tell your Representative: Support change in foreign policy. Back Rep. Castro for
HFAC Chair.

vision. It will be centered around human rights, human dignity, justice,
accountability, diplomacy, and cooperation.

For the last four years, the U.S. has had a broken foreign policy with the Trump
Administration at the helm. Change starts with Rep. Joaquin Castro.

Members of Congress will be voting soon. We need concerned activists like you to
make your voice heard.

10,000 signatures still needed: Help the U.S forge a new path in foreign policy.
