Sign the Petition to Tell Congress: Build a Better Aid System

Over the last two years, President Trump and Elon Musk led the dismantling of USAID, and instituted sweeping cuts to lifesaving aid and development programs around the world. At a time when humanitarian needs are growing around the world, the U.S. should be strengthening foreign aid, not walking away from it.

Now, with a new Congress preparing to take office, we have a chance to shape what comes next. There’s an opportunity to help build something better: a more effective system that saves lives, supports long-term development, strengthens local leadership, and gives people the power and resources to shape their own futures.

Aid should put people's needs first. It should be guided by communities' priorities, not short-term political interests or transactional deals. It should support communities facing immediate challenges while also investing in long-term development and lasting progress.

Sign our petition and tell Congress to help build a stronger and more effective aid system.

Sign the petition to urge Congress to build a better aid system

As your constituent and an Oxfam supporter, I urge you to support a stronger and more effective U.S. foreign aid system.

For decades, support for foreign aid has brought together leaders across political parties because investing in global stability, reducing poverty, and responding to crises reflects both our values and our shared interests.

As Congress considers what comes next, we have an opportunity not simply to restore what was lost with the dismantling of USAID, but to build something better.

Aid should put people's needs first. It should be guided by communities' priorities, not short-term political interests or transactional deals. Resources should be directed where they are needed most to reduce suffering, tackle inequality, and support long-term progress.

Please support a future of foreign aid that saves lives, invests in long-term development, strengthens local leadership, and gives communities the power and resources to shape their own futures.

Thank you for your consideration.
