Advocating Against Recissions and For Life and Health
CCIH joined other faith-based organizations in signing onto a letter to the U.S. Senate from the Interfaith Working Group on Foreign Assistance to advocate against taking back funds already approved by Congress to protect life and health. The funds would help over 800 million people facing complex crises stemming from violent conflicts, widening food insecurity, and natural disasters worldwide. The letter urges Congress to continue its decades of commitment to strengthening the United States’ role as a leader in both humanitarian assistance and international development programs, honoring the dignity of all, and supporting flourishing communities. In just six months, the purposeful termination of global health programs has caused over 108,00 adult deaths and 225,000 child deaths.
