Screenshot from https://act.pih.org/foreign-aid-freeze. This is the script that will appear on the next page as well: "Hi, I'm (NAME). I'm a local constituent from (ZIP CODE). I'm calling to ask the member to push for a full repeal of the administration's new foreign aid freeze including "stop work orders" that are cutting off lifesaving global health programs across more than a hundred countries. This does not make America safer, stronger, or more prosperous. I also ask the member to push for a full repeal of the $3 trillion federal funding "pause" requested by the White House memo from the Office of Management and Budget. This will have terrible implications on many federal programs that matter to me and many communities at risk. I would like to be kept updated on this and you can contact me at (EMAIL or PHONE NUMBER)."

They also mention that you'll likely be speaking with an intern/staffer - it's worth being courteous here.

Keeping the script up on my laptop while I was called was helpful! I also added, "I called because I want to support of the longterm health of the Partners in Health organization." #PIH #P4A
