Dear Richard, I have some exciting news to share! Last week, Congress passed a budget deal and increased global health funding. The best part: It provides increases to nearly all U.S. contributions to global vaccine programs and to UNICEF! This shows what can happen when people like you make their voices heard! Throughout the budget process this year, Shot@Life supporters contacted Congress nearly 40,000 times to make sure that funding for vaccines was protected. Because of that outpouring of support, millions of children in developing countries will live to meet more milestones this year, and for years to come. But our work isn’t over just yet. Now, it’s time to thank Congress for prioritizing these life-saving programs. There were some very tough decisions made during this budget process, and we need to make sure your representatives know who stands with them in funding global vaccines -- so they’ll be more likely to vote the right way again the next time around! Send a message now to thank your representatives in Congress for helping give children a shot at a healthy life! Thanks again, Devi Thomas Director, Shot@Life
