🌙 Late last night, the Senate passed the foreign aid rescission—an outcome none of us wanted, but one we were prepared for. We know how frustrating and disheartening this can feel. But this moment also marks the start of the next phase of our advocacy: the in-district campaign.

📢 AID on the Hill is Now Online!
We're a nonpartisan, grassroots effort to ensure Congress—and the American public—hear the voices of those who believe that foreign assistance is a core American value and should remain a powerful force for global stability, economic growth, and national security.

Democracy is dying in America, and resistance begins with language — it shapes what the public sees, and what they’re willing to tolerate.
Resistance begins when we refuse to repeat their lies.
Words become action. Action becomes power. Truth becomes revolution.
