¿Su iglesia puede recuadar $428,000 anualmente?
Ya comenzó oficialmente la temporada del presupuesto de 2019 en Washington. El presupuesto sometido por el Presidente Trump para el 2019 incluye recortes de $1.5 billones a programas que ayudan a las personas que enfrentan hambre y pobreza. Si las iglesias y organizaciones caritativas trataran de compensar estos recortes, tendrían que recaudar más de $428,000 dólares anuales por 10 años.
¿Crees que tu iglesia puede cubrir esa diferencia?
Estos recortes al presupuesto son inaceptables. Llama al (800-826-3688) o envía un correo electrónico a tus senadores y respresentante hoy. Diles a tus miembros del Congreso que aprueben un presupuesto que erradique el hambre.
Aunque es difícil que la propuesta del Presidente se convierta en ley, es un punto de partida para las negociaciones del presupuesto. El año pasado, el Presidente Trump, propuso recortes aún más profundos a los programas que alivian el hambre y la pobreza en Estados Unidos y alrededor del mundo.
Gracias a las miles de llamadas, cartas y correos electrónicos de parte de defensores como tu, esperamos que el financiamiento a programas de desarrollo internacional y programas domésticos de la red de protección social sean protegidos, en gran medida, cuando el Congreso emita sus votos la próxima semana.
Juntos podemos detener estos recortes presupuestales otra vez. Llama al (800-826-3688) o envía un correo electrónico a tus miembros del Congreso.
Diles a tus miembros del Congreso que aprueben un presupuesto que erradique el hambre.
