The proposed Rescissions Package from the White House seeks to retract over $9 billion in foreign aid funding that has already been committed by Congress. These aren’t future plans — they’re current programs, already underway, with real lives depending on their success.
If passed, the rescissions would halt or severely weaken essential aid efforts. That includes school meal programs, childhood vaccinations, education support, and lifesaving medical deliveries — tools that help communities recover, grow, and survive.
Many frontline organizations are already seeing contracts frozen or delayed due to these cuts. This puts entire populations at risk, especially during a time of escalating global hunger and health crises.
For decades, U.S. foreign aid has been a bipartisan priority — an expression of American leadership, stability, and compassion. Walking away from these commitments now would cost lives.
