In late January, the Trump Administration issued a Stop-Work Order on nearly all foreign aid programs. These abrupt cuts have been devastating — halting treatment for TB, malaria, and HIV, and cutting off maternal and child health services. More than 4 million women and girls have already lost access to maternal and contraceptive care, putting many at risk of unintended pregnancies and preventable deaths.
Despite court orders to restart aid, the Administration has doubled down, canceling over 90% of USAID contracts, including those with lifesaving humanitarian waivers. These reckless decisions defy congressional authority and betray bipartisan commitments to global health and development.
Foreign aid is not just charity — it’s a critical investment in global stability and America’s role in the world. The U.S. has long been a leader in fighting preventable disease and maternal deaths. Now, with entire health systems collapsing due to aid cuts, Congress must act. The stakes are clear: if these programs are not reinstated, millions will die.
Calling your representatives makes a real difference. Congress has the power to push back against these devastating cuts and demand that lifesaving aid be restored. Tell them to act now!
