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.

    I called my Senators and I have asked all my friends and family to do it as well. Its SO easy, it takes 2 minutes and can really make a big difference in the lives of millions of people!

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

    PLEASE CALL YOUR SENATORS TODAY!

    How often can you save lives by just picking up the phone?
