If you didn’t believe that the American dream has died yet, you will now. This is heartbreaking to hear from the titular leader of our nation of immigrants. Shameful day.

The chaotic and disastrous dismantling of USAID is fueling hunger, poverty, disease—and death—around the world.
We care deeply. We should *all* care.
Maybe it’s not happening to Americans right now.
But destroying USAID threatens global stability—and our security too.

Thank you to everyone who stands with USAID. Share far and wide. Unfortunately we don’t have $40 million to buy up ads during the Super Bowl. Even if we did, we’d use it to support the U.S. economy while feeding kids around the globe.
