Ask your Members of Congress to Support the Global Poverty Act

Tell your member of Congress to cosponsor the Global Poverty Act (HR1302). This important legislation would require the US government to implement a poverty reduction strategy and to report to Congress on its progress on an annual basis.

By asking Congress to cosponsor the Global Poverty Act, you will be taking a crucial step to helping improve the lives of the 1 billion people who live in slum conditions worldwide.

As the most free and prosperous nation on earth, the United States has a moral responsibility to commit at least a small portion of its budget to global poverty reduction.  Please cosponsor the Global Poverty Act (HR 1302) and ask the House leadership to make its passage a top priority this year
