64 years ago today, USAID was founded based on the idea that the U.S. could pursue foreign policy objectives while also doing good for other people.

USAID had the most Christian mission of any U.S. government entity: care for the sick, feed the hungry, provide for the stranger in need.

🚨Reminder: AID on the Hill tomorrow Thursday March 27! All friends welcome to meet up with us at 9:30 a.m. at the Hart Building Atrium! #saveforeignassistance #USAIDLives

YES, you can help. Call your Member of Congress and pick JUST ONE of these examples and tell them that instead of stopping foreign aid they should FIRE MAROCCO. Immediately. And hire back competent staff who truly care about America's role in the world. #USAIDLives 11/END 🧵

And yeah we do run into war zones UNARMED to save babies. The 5,000 people they just fired are used to staying up all night to address crises.We are no strangers to working amid chaos, conflict and authoritarianism.Y'all are going to need our skills, America. #USAIDLives #SaveAmerica #resist #AltGov

ALL: there is nothing that terrifies DOGE and Musk more than an actual hero, especially if that hero is a woman. Not surprisingly they are swarming Cate on X though they would shit their pants rather than face her in person! Please help amplify her voice! #AltGov #ArrestMusk #USAIDLives

Demonstrators show support for fired USAID employees forced to clear out offices Thousands of USAID workers cleared out their workspaces after the Trump administration, under the guidance of Elon Musk's DOGE, shuttered the agency.

THANK YOU to everyone who came to help 'clap out' our amazing staff and to our former Administrators Samantha Power, Raj Shah and Gayle Smith for being there to show how real leaders treat their people #USAIDLives

Sharing the other image from this farewell essay from a fired USAID employee, to highlight the memorial wall being left behind. Imagine that: People giving their lives to bring health, clean water, food, and the knowledge to attain self-sufficiency to those beyond our borders. #USAIDLives

More Than Just a Building A USAID civil servant reflects on the shuttering of USAID headquarters

Today is hard. The sinks and toilets broke regularly, the fridges were always disgusting, and the halls were filled with vibrant life, sound, taste and color all the time, as we brought the whole world into our office. #USAIDLives

We're telling you these assholes could care less about reviewing foreign assistance it's all about their pathetic little egos #FireMarocco #FireMeisburger #USAIDLives

Feel free to add your OWN facts about what else the world could do with $40 million in Superbowl ad buys - or $400 billion in wealth! #TeamUSAID #AIDBowl #USAIDLives

Wow. This is good. I like what they've said, "Bruised but not beaten..." ##DemocracyMatters #USAIDLIves
