From the Coalition on Human Needs (http://www.chn.org):
When the next Congress is sworn in, we know that there will be at least 56 new members. It is imperative that we show them and returning members that the human needs community is unified in our vocal commitment to advocate for a stronger America that actively ensures the well-being of all of our people.
You may have heard of our campaign from previous years. It’s called SAVE for All, which stands for Strengthening America’s Values and Economy for All.
SAVE for All has four principles:
- Protect Low-Income and Vulnerable Populations.
- Promote Job Creation and Strengthen the Economy for All.
- Increase Revenues from Fair Sources.
- Seek Responsible Savings from Wasteful Spending in the Pentagon and Elsewhere.
Read the full statement of principles here.
We’re calling on everyone concerned about meeting human needs to show their support for these principles. We want individuals, service providers, religious congregations and other faith groups, civil rights groups, labor organizations, businesses, local advocacy groups, professional associations, and so many more to join us in telling Congress that our priorities must not be ignored and should be high on its agenda.
Please sign on to the SAVE principles at https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdLC3KGsEb3gFF3tTypdenZp-KepHOyJWcC7dSmY9lZQAFNIQ/formResponse.
