Take Action Now

Contact Your Senators and Representative!

The Foreign Operations Appropriations bill is the most important annual opportunity to increase resources for programs that benefit children living in poor countries. Write letters to both of your Senators and to your Representative, urging them to speak personally and write to the key decisionmakers who determine foreign aid funding priorities for next year. Ask for their support for key global health and education priorities for the fiscal year 2009 (FY09) foreign aid spending bill.

NEW: Face the Candidates!

Join Global Action for Children and urge the Presidential candidates to take action for the world's children.

People across the country care about orphans and vulnerable children, but not everyone can get face time with the Presidential candidates or members of Congress to tell them. Make your voice heard: send us your photo holding a sign showing your support for orphans and vulnerable children, and we'll put your face in front of the candidates.
