Critical gains in reducing hunger and poverty around the world are at risk of being lost. Our core humanitarian values and beliefs have been under constant attack this year.

Aid funding has been slashed. Food assistance has been torched. Civilians have endured relentless conflict and unbearable hunger. Poverty is growing worse as livelihoods are being destroyed and opportunities are drying up.

The time for staying quiet is over. We must speak out to stand up for our values — loudly, urgently, and until we are truly heard.

Soon, Congress will return from their summer recess and take on some of these critical challenges, including passing a budget to fund life-saving foreign assistance in the coming year. Before then, join us in making a powerful public statement to make 100% clear what the American public stands for.

Sign our statement right now and join thousands of Mercy Corps supporters across the U.S. in demanding urgent action on the most pressing injustices of our time.

Right now, we are watching the systematic dismantling of so much of the progress we’ve been fighting for over the years.

The termination of nearly 10,000 foreign aid programs has cut off millions of people around the world from food, water, shelter, health care, and other life-saving support. The human consequences have been devastating and are still mounting.

In Sudan, where 13 million people are displaced and 600,000 face catastrophic hunger, the U.S. had been the largest donor before the recent aid cuts — providing 44% of total humanitarian aid. In Somalia, where 4.4 million people face acute hunger, the U.S. had provided approximately 65% of humanitarian aid.

Now, nutrition and health centers have been forced to close, putting thousands more, especially malnourished children, at risk. Kids who once relied on school feeding programs are now going hungry. Parents who relied on health clinics to save their malnourished children are now watching them die. Wells and pumps to provide safe drinking water lie half-dug and unfinished because funding was abruptly stopped.

America is turning its back on the world’s most vulnerable people — and together, we cannot stop speaking out until we are heard.

Add your name to our statement of values and demand that our leaders prioritize the people who are in greatest need: hungry families, civilians in conflict, and anyone who is striving to create a better life despite persistent injustice.

Thank you for standing with us,

The Mercy Corps team
