Looking for Action?

November 11th, 2009 at 9:49 am

We already delivered the Upgrade Aid petition, and we’re working hard to get a new ONE petition up. But we want it to be a good petition that will really make a difference and bring in new ONE and Campus Challenge members at the same time, so we’re considering our options carefully. We should have something for you next week.

In the meantime, you don’t have to be idle on advocacy! The mark up on the Foreign Assistance Revitalization and Accountability Act is postponed until November 17th due to a memorial service for Ft. Hood, and the nomination at long last of a new USAID administrator could mean new momentum for our campaign if we keep up the pressure.

So you can still sign the petition and share it with your social networks, and also take your advocacy of this important legislation to the next level by calling your senator(s).

Find everything you need to make your call(s) here. You’ll get 1,000 points automatically when you fill out the form to report your call, and this is a great way to add some real “oomph” to our petition and make sure the Senate Foreign Relations Committee takes this bill seriously.

And stay tuned to the OCC Blog for more opportunities to take action!
