Fund Humanitarian Aid
Since the closure of USAID and recission of foreign aid funding in 2025 the future of U.S. humanitarian leadership is in question. Congress is currently deciding funding levels for Fiscal Year 2027 and lifesaving humanitarian and atrocity prevention funding is at risk. These accounts support the ability of the U.S. Government to prevent further violence and mitigate ongoing violence through locally-led interventions and emergency relief. This vital funding is less than 1.5% of the U.S. government budget and has strong bipartisan support among constituents and elected officials.
Act now to ensure humanitarian work continues during this critical time.
➜ Tell Congress: The U.S. Government must maintain it’s leadership by robustly funding humanitarian assistance in the Fiscal Year 2027 budget.
Protect Nonprofit Status
NP calls on U.S. Senators and Representatives to oppose language from H.R. 640, introduced in the 118th Congress as H.R. 9495, the Stop Terror-Financing and Tax Penalties on American Hostages Act, which would allow the Secretary of the Treasury unilateral authority to strip non-profits of tax-exempt status. This creates a high risk of politicized, retributive and discriminatory behavior without due process or impartial review if they deem it a “terrorism supporting” organization without requiring the Secretary to share their full evidence or reasoning with accused nonprofits. If approved in the Senate, this bill would allow the executive branch to silence critics, curb free speech, censor nonprofit media outlets, target political opponents, and punish disfavored groups across the political spectrum.
➜ Tell Congress: Oppose provisions that could threaten nonprofit tax-exempt status without due process. Protect free speech and prevent political censorship.
End the Global Gag Rule
This prevents organizations from creating and implementing programming designed to reach specific communities most in need of support and makes operating in areas with complex identity-based violence difficult.
➜ Tell Congress: Overturn the Global Gag Rule today to prevent dangerous impacts on lifesaving programs.
By taking action today, you become part of a global movement for peace and safety. Together, our voices can build a better future.
Take More Action Now
Tell Congress: Take concrete actions to address the atrocities that are taking place in Sudan and condemn the UAE for fueling the conflict.
NP supports the collective advocacy campaign led by Refugees International to #SpeakOutOnSudan and calls upon the Administration to take concrete actions to address the atrocities that are taking place in Sudan and condemn international backers who are fueling the conflict. NP also calls on the global media to cover the conflict in Sudan with the urgency and attention that these atrocities demand.
Tell Congress: Secure an immediate ceasefire across Gaza, Lebanon, Israel, and the broader region. Protect civilians and uphold international humanitarian law.
NP calls on UN member states to secure an immediate ceasefire across Gaza, Lebanon, Israel and the region at large and to end the impunity that has allowed Israel to carry out atrocities against civilians. We anticipate continued violence against civilians, particularly in Gaza, and failure to act now will result in further atrocities and blatant violations of international humanitarian law.
Tell Congress: Oppose the transfer of indiscriminate weapons like antipersonnel landmines and cluster munitions. Advocate for global protection norms that prioritize civilian safety.
NP opposes the transfer of all indiscriminate weapons, including the U.S. transfer of antipersonnel landmines to Ukraine and calls on the Administration to reverse this decision and align US policy and actions with requirements of the Convention on Cluster Munitions. No country should use indiscriminate weapons, whose use will inevitably harm civilians for generations and undermine global protection norms.
Tell Congress: Improve proactive U.S. government coordination and response to prevent violent conflict by reauthorizing and strengthening the Global Fragility Act.
The Global Fragility Act, originally passed by Congress and signed into law by President Trump in 2019 is a proactive and responsive strategy for preventing and mitigating violent conflict through coordinated U.S. government action. Bipartisan legislation has been introduced in both the House and Senate to renew and expand the mandate of this vital program – authorizing continued funding, improving monitoring and evaluation efforts to measure the program’s success, and expanding required coordination between U.S. government agencies in the program’s implementation.
Tell Congress: Support federal grants for evidence-based violence intervention programs to reduce gun violence and create opportunities in impacted communities.
NP supports the Break the Cycle of Violence Act which would provide federal grants to communities for evidence-informed community violence intervention and prevention programs designed to interrupt cycles of violence. This kind of investment in evidence-based, anti-violence programs would provide job opportunities and workforce training to break cycles of gun violence which is essential to reducing gun violence, especially in disproportionately impacted Black and Brown communities.
