Take Action
As American Jews, by urging our government to respond to extreme poverty and by increasing awareness in our communities, we complement the work of AJWS's project partners and strengthen our mission to help alleviate poverty, hunger and disease in the developing world.
Reform U.S. Foreign Assistance
U.S. foreign assistance programs provide vital services to peoples around the world. However, conflicting goals, lack of coordination and an increasingly burdensome bureaucratic system limit the effectiveness of our foreign aid. Now is the time to reform U.S. foreign assistance, reducing red tape and redundancy and putting the focus where it belongs, on alleviating poverty and hunger and promoting human rights.

The situation is dire and will require the entire international community to come together to avert rapid and substantial loss of life. AJWS is asking people of conscience to send a letter to their representatives in Congress.
President Barack Obama's opportunity to turn his promises into action has come. And our opportunity to hold him accountable has begun. Help us ensure that Darfur is a priority from Day One for his administration.
