Take Action!

From Catholic Charities of Albany County:

Take Action - Ask Congress to Confront Global Poverty Now
Ask Congress to Confront Global Poverty

Take Action!
Let's ensure Congress knows how important these programs are to poor and vulnerable.

The House of Representatives soon will be voting on legislation that provides funding for poverty-focused international assistance programs that confront poverty and save lives. The $48.8 billion FY 2010 State, Foreign Operations Appropriations bill is already $1.2 billion below last year's level and $3.2 billion below the President's request. Any more cuts to this budget could affect efforts to help people living in poverty worldwide. We need to ensure Congress knows how important these programs are to poor and vulnerable people around the world and that they are supported by American Catholics.
