Dear Mr. President,

Your leadership is needed now to bring the tools for delivering U.S. foreign assistance into the 21st century, so that we can do more with precious taxpayer dollars to help those in need. We urge you to follow through on your pledge to “modernize [U.S.] foreign assistance” with two important actions:

• CreateAmerica’sfirst-everGlobalDevelopmentStrategy, to provide our nation with a clear roadmap for reducing global poverty.

• Partner with Congress to rewrite the existing, Cold War-eraForeignAssistanceActandbuildabetterfoundation for all U.S. global development efforts.

We pledge our energy and resolve to support you in strengthening the U.S. commitment to global development.
