BREAKING:
House to vote on food aid reform any moment
Call your U.S. representative now to ask them to support reforms that will deliver aid more quickly and more effectively to save more lives.
Just call 1-888-404-5166 now to connect with your member of Congress for free!
There's very little time, and this is VERY important:
The House is about to vote on an amendment to the farm bill that would radically improve the way the US provides food aid.
Oxfam has been working on fixing our government's broken food aid policies for years, and we've never had a chance like this. This amendment would feed 4 million more people a year at no additional cost to taxpayers.
But for this amendment to pass, we need your U.S. representative's support. Seize the moment with us – make a call to reform food aid now!
To make your call, just dial 1-888-404-5166 and follow the prompts to connect to your Representative. Then, tell the staffer:
"My name is____, and I'm a supporter of Oxfam America, calling from _______ to ask that my Representative vote YES on the Royce-Engel Food Aid Reform Amendment to the Farm Bill.
It's bipartisan, and the amendment will save lives and money – it will ensure that the US government has the flexibility it needs to provide lifesaving emergency food assistance where it's needed most, in the fastest and most cost effective way.
Will my Representative be supporting this amendment?"
If your call doesn't go through on the first try, that just means momentum is building and so many people are calling that the line is busy – wait two minutes and then try again!
This is our chance to fix a huge problem with US government food aid – and help it reach millions more people. Will you make a ca;l?
Thanks in advance for your time – your words will make a HUGE difference in this fight.
Sincerely,
Oxfam America Advocacy Fund
