Montana representatives should support global funding for COVID-19 relief.
Due to the pandemic, 2020 and 2021 hunger levels could reach the highest they’ve been in over a decade.
Hunger is projected to rise 82%, meaning an additional 137 million people could face acute food insecurity globally. I urge Sen. Tester, Sen. Daines, and Rep. Rosendale to support additional emergency supplemental funds for the foreign aid budget to fight COVID-19.
Supporting this funding not only reinstalls the U.S. as a global leader and supporter of humanitarian aid, but helps ensure the economic health of the U.S. and protects national security.
