Only 48 Hours Left
We just sent an email out asking ONE Members across the country to call their senators and ask them to vote for the Kerry-Lugar Amendment that would restore potentially devastating cuts to the International Affairs Budget. These cuts, if enacted, would be a major blow to the part of the budget funding almost all of our anti-poverty work, from fighting global AIDS to making sure the hunger crisis doesn’t turn into a starvation crisis.
We only have 48 hours left. Please call your senators and ask them to vote for the Kerry-Lugar Amendment. Together we can stop this from happening.

We have worked so hard to take steps forward in the fight against extreme poverty, lets not take a giant leap back!
