Sealed the Deal
Yesterday, the Senate sealed the deal.
Now instead of poverty-focused development programs receiving no increases in 2007, they will receive an additional $1.45 billion.
Please take a moment to thank your senators for advocating for this vital funding.
To be clear, this easily couldn’t have happened. Over the passed two months, ONE members wrote over 200,000 letters to their elected officials in Washington, and leaders in the Senate and House led 142 of their colleagues to push Congress to fully fund extreme poverty programs in 2007.
On January 31, the House voted 286 to 140 to pass this resolution , and yesterday, the Senate passed the same CR, 81 to 15. You can see how all our members of Congress voted below.
Please take a moment to thank your senators for the leadership they took yesterday to save hundreds of thousands of lives. (Note, these well-deserved thank yous will only go to those who voted for the bill.)
