Outreach & Opinion Editor /PennLive -- Chief Executive Officer at WORLD AFFAIRS COUNCIL OF HARRISBURG
Here's a message I received from U.S. Global Leadership Coalition . . .please bombard your congress people -- otherwise they think no one cares! It is critical that we make our voices heard to Members of Congress?this week?to call for?robust oversight and accountability?of U.S. international assistance programs and?preserve and strengthen effective and efficient programs?that save lives and advance our national security and economic interests. Over the past few weeks,?nearly 90% of America’s international assistance has been shuttered?– including blanket closures of emergency, development, and security assistance – triggering significant humanitarian impacts around the globe and security impacts for our nation. As a leader in your state, we are asking you?to contact your Senators and Representatives today, using the link below: ? Contact your Members of Congress Today U.S. international assistance is a critical part of America’s ability to lead on the world stage – to protect our nation from threats of terrorism, conflict, and diseases; to open new overseas opportunities for U.S. businesses and exports; and to express our values as Americans.???Members of Congress?need to hear from you TODAY on why this matters and what we risk when we retreat from the global stage. Thank you, as always, for all that you do, and for taking action during this important time. Alex Alex Grant National Outreach Director U.S. Global Leadership Coalition
