Hi Friend,
In January, Trump issued an executive order freezing all global health assistance – including family planning and reproductive health – for 90 days. Subsequently, with the nefarious help of Elon Musk and his self-named "Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)," he then shuttered the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). Since then, Musk has claimed that zero people have died from his senseless decision making – but that couldn’t be further from the truth.
The reality: health care providers and their patients around the world are already feeling the impact. During Trump's so-called “90-day” freeze, he has put millions of lives at risk. An estimated 11.7 million women and girls will be denied contraceptive care, leading to 4.2 million unintended pregnancies and over 8,000 maternal deaths. This is just the tip of the iceberg.
Our senators and representatives are currently in their home states and districts for April recess. Now is the time to make your voice heard from their own backyard! Email your members of Congress now and demand they restore investments in family planning and all global health and development.
We cannot stand by while Musk – the world's richest man – strips global health funding from those around the world who are most in need. Email your elected officials now to demand they stand up to Trump and Musk and restore this lifesaving foreign aid.
