Today on Capitol Hill, Jubilee USA is joining national partners to move urgent disaster aid and relief for Puerto Rico and numerous US States and Territories.
Working with the Hispanic Federation, Feeding America, American Farm Bureau Federation, Corporación ENLACE del Caño Martín Peña, Coalition on Human Needs, Oxfam America, Sierra Club, Bread for the World and Coalition for Food Security - in Puerto Rico, we are urging Congress to pass a full disaster package right away.
Jubilee USA members, congregations and faith communities have generated tens of thousands of messages to Congress. Together, we've won $50 billion in relief aid for Puerto Rico, we've moved forward a debt relief process and united Republicans and Democrats to agree that Puerto Rico needs to rebuild to withstand future storms.
Still - we need to win another $70 billion in rebuilding funds, we need to make sure that enough debt is cut and we need to restore emergency food aid benefits for over a million US citizens living in Puerto Rico.
Please make a call to the Senate now. Urge your community, family and friends to make a call for Puerto Rico. Momentum is on our side and your call for debt and disaster relief can make a big difference now.
Gratefully,
Eric
