Last week, the Trump Administration announced major cuts to international funding in the Fiscal Year 2026 budget. This proposal includes cuts to peacekeeping operations, disaster assistance, and food aid, among many others.

The administration’s proposed cuts would slash U.S. foreign assistance programs by more than 80% if they’re approved by Congress, making the U.S. weaker, less safe, and less prosperous — while devastating communities around the world.

We must meet the moment and oppose the Administration’s dangerous FY 2026 budget cuts. Sign our petition to urge Congress to defend vital foreign aid funding and restore support for U.S. development and humanitarian programs.

Foreign assistance funding saves lives and builds a safer and secure future for all. It provides lifesaving aid when disasters strike, improves education and health in crisis zones, spurs economic growth and stability, and reduces poverty.

And when the world is more stable, the U.S. prospers.

Yet, as many as 305 million people need humanitarian assistance today, more than twice as many as five years ago. The Trump Administration wants to implement draconian cuts to the international affairs budget and let innocent civilians facing hunger, displacement, and poverty perish without a lifeline.

The last five years have shown us that challenges — from the pandemic to food insecurity to war — transcend all borders.

Send a letter to your representatives today urging them to defend vital international assistance funding to address global emergency needs and support long-term development solutions.

Thank you for taking action,
