Ask President Obama to make aid work for the 1 billion people worldwide living in
extreme poverty!
Right now, President Obama and his senior advisors are debating the future of U.S.
efforts to alleviate poverty, fight disease, and create economic opportunity for
the world's poorest people.
Their decisions can have a profound impact on how Habitat for Humanity serves families
in need around the globe.
Habitat, in partnership with Women Thrive Worldwide, the ONE Campaign, Bread for
the World, Publish What You Fund, Save the Children, RESULTS, Mercy Corps, American
Jewish World Service, Oxfam, and CARE, needs your support.
Sign the petition urging the White House to make a strong statement about
America's commitment to development.

Dear President Obama,
I strongly support U.S. foreign assistance efforts that alleviate poverty, fight
disease, and create opportunity in developing countries.
As General James Jones and Dr. Lawrence Summers prepare recommendations on how to
deliver on President Obama’s promise to ensure that development is “established
and endures as a key pillar of U.S. foreign policy,” I ask for action on one key
issue:
Create a U.S. global development strategy that gives development a strong voice
in foreign policy decisions and coordinates our efforts to alleviate global poverty,
fight disease, and create economic opportunity.
Addressing this issue quickly will strengthen ongoing efforts across the U.S. government
to make foreign assistance more effective and accountable.
