With a new President and a Congress with many new members, now is great time to encourage a shift in U.S. policies. We need to build relationships with new members and strengthen our relationships with returning members. Join our group today, and start communicating with fellow advocates. Together, we can make fighting global poverty a priority for our elected officials!
