The sudden and unprecedented USAID Stop-Work Order has caught thousands of hard working Americans off guard, stripping them of their jobs without warning—leaving families without income and communities without support. This decision doesn’t just impact those overseas; it weakens our nation’s global standing, disrupts critical aid efforts, and threatens our own economic and national security.

USAID’S Impact on America
Foreign aid is not just charity—it’s an investment in stability, diplomacy, and American interests. When we abandon these commitments, we make our country more vulnerable. We must take action now to reverse this devastating order.
Economic Growth
USAID's investments in developing countries create more resilient markets for U.S. exports. These investments also benefit the supply chains of U.S. industries that import goods from developing countries.
Trade Capacity Building
USAID works with developing countries to improve their trading systems and reduce barriers to trade.
Foreign Policy
USAID's assistance programs promote U.S. foreign policy interests. USAID is a leader in humanitarian assistance, providing aid to people in crisis or disaster. With the removal of crucial and strategic programs it will create a void for adversaries, such as China and Russia, to develop a stronghold.
Conflict Prevention
USAID works to reduce the reach of conflict and prevent the spread of violence, instability, and transnational crime.
Disease Prevention
USAID’s global health work protects against disease spread by monitoring, preventing, and responding to infectious diseases. With millions of people traveling internationally every day, untreated outbreaks in vulnerable regions can quickly spread across borders, putting American lives at risk. Cutting off funding to these programs increases the likelihood of deadly diseases—like tuberculosis, malaria, and emerging viruses—reaching the U.S., overwhelming our healthcare system and endangering public health.
