Trump\u2019s aid cuts have undermined its global response to the earthquake in Burma. Congress must respond.

On March 28, a devastating earthquake struck the Southeast Asian country of Burma\u2014toppling buildings, destroying bridges, and causing the deaths of more than 3,000 people.

This natural catastrophe and the following aftershocks comes on top of multiple human-made disasters afflicting Burma. The country\u2019s brutal military regime has been fighting a protracted civil war against the country\u2019s elected leadership, ethnic resistance groups and civilian population.

This lawless junta has not paused their atrocities even in the aftermath of the earthquake. With the deployment of search and rescue operations, the Burmese military have simultaneously launched deadly airstrikes in quake-damaged parts of the country. They have also reportedly prevented doctors from reaching affected areas not under junta control\u2014further compromising the humanitarian response.

As if the junta\u2019s crimes weren\u2019t enough, the people of Burma are now also caught in the downstream effects of the Trump administration\u2019s sweeping cuts to humanitarian aid.

The Trump administration has dismantled the United States\u2019s global aid system. And while they have since pledged some limited funding to help the country recover, their gutting of aid infrastructure means they have no clear means to deliver it.

Congress needs to act swiftly and forcefully in this moment to remedy this grave injustice. Recently, UUSC\u2019s Resistance Network helped us deliver the call to Congress to defend U.S. humanitarian aid. The disaster in Burma illustrates exactly why it is needed.

That is why we are following up with our legislators today to underline this message. Remind your members of Congress: In the wake of the disaster in Burma, life-saving aid is more critical than ever. The U.S. must do its part to respond.

Start by entering your information below so we can deliver your message. When you hit \u201csign up\u201d you\u2019ll be taken to a template message to your members of Congress, which you can personalize before sending. Even if you are an active member of network, each action requires form submissions to email elected officials.

The Trump administration\u2019s attack on aid jeopardizes human rights around the globe.

Within days of taking office, the Trump administration decimated U.S. humanitarian aid. Overnight, life-saving aid programs were forced to close their doors and cease operations around the world. We\u2019ve been in touch with our community partners on the ground and the impact is dire in countries such as Burma, Ukraine, Haiti, and Sudan. Many have still not seen their funding restored weeks later \u2014 even after multiple court orders and protests from Congress urged the administration to change course. Meanwhile, innocent lives are being lost as global aid operations grind to a halt and the entire humanitarian ecosystem is dismantled.

These callous aid cuts directly harm our partners and their struggle for human rights. Here are just some of the many ways we are already seeing the impact of the humanitarian aid freeze on our partners around the world \u2014 in just the few weeks since it took effect:

Refugees persecuted by the Burmese junta have lost life-saving medical care due to the forced closure of U.S.-funded hospitals.
Rohingya refugees, who escaped genocide by relocating to Bangladesh, face the prospect of being displaced twice-over by the sudden halt to U.S. support.
Haiti faces a critical loss of food and medical aid at a time when the country is enduring its worst security crisis in a generation.

Congress needs to defend the humanitarian aid programs they created and funded. Trump\u2019s unilateral attempts to destroy and dismantle USAID and other foreign aid programs not only threaten innocent lives around the globe \u2014 they are also a gross abuse of executive power that defies the U.S. constitutional order.

We should not cede our power. Write to your members of Congress to help deliver this message today: life-saving humanitarian aid should be a bipartisan priority. Congress must do its part to defend these programs.
