Act Now!
Last week, advocates wrote to their senators asking them to do the right thing and reject funding cuts to lifesaving foreign assistance.
Looks like they were listening. U.S. Sens. Richard Durbin (D-IL) and Todd Young (R-IN) are now circulating a letter for others senators to sign onto that supports robust funding for the fiscal year 2018 International Affairs Budget.

Unnecessarily long prison sentences, combined with the lack of rehabilitative programs for people in prison, exacerbate hunger, poverty, and existing inequalities.
Overly harsh mandatory minimum prison sentences have contributed to the rapid increase of our country’s prison population. The...
