Background

The Senate’s “repeal and delay” health care plan pushes 32 million people off a health care coverage cliff over 10 years.

We are closer now than ever to a major win on health care, thanks in large part to the strong advocacy of people like you. But with a procedural vote on Tuesday and a possible floor debate coming up, every minute counts for protecting access to quality, affordable health care.

Across the country, advocates are working with new urgency to advocate for bipartisan action to address the impacts, causes, and challenges of our changing climate.

FCNL has led efforts to resist the worst cuts to peacebuilding programs. We have also worked to stay focused—not chasing every headline, crisis, or tweet —so that we can be engaged when our action matters most.

President Trump campaigned on getting tough on immigration. He promised to build an “impenetrable, physical, tall, powerful, beautiful southern border wall” and to ban Muslim immigrants from the U.S. Using the leverage of Congress and the courts, FCNL and other advocates have been pushing back.

On July 13th, the bipartisan House Climate Solutions Caucus shaped U.S. climate policy when their votes contributed to a victory during the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).

This September, the House and Senate will be debating spending bills and working to pass a budget. If leading voices in this debate get their way, that budget will slash spending on critical domestic programs, including Medicaid and SNAP, in order to justify massive increases in an already bloated pentagon budget. But before they make these decisions, members of Congress spend five weeks at home, and have an opportunity to hear from some of the most important voices on this issue: yours.

North Korea is an odious regime, offending the vision of equity, justice, and peace that FCNL pursues—but we cannot wish it away. While there are no ideal options, some options are undoubtedly worse than others. Diplomacy and peacebuilding may have their risks, but only they hold a chance of opening a way to a better tomorrow.

This informational webinar on the Elie Wiesel Act includes background information, an overview of the bill’s provisions, an outline of some of the outreach and education strategy, and action opportunities.

On June 1, President Trump announced his decision to withdraw the United Stated from the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change’s Paris Agreement.
