As Co-Chair of the Advisory Board for the Alliance for American Leadership (A4AL), I want to sincerely thank you for your support after the resounding success of our inaugural Launch Party in Washington, D.C. last night. 107 people attended despite the thunderstorms, and James Walkinshaw, our close ally and Congress' next great champion of foreign aid, delivered an inspiring speech!

Our mission is urgent and clear: make foreign aid a priority issue for every member of Congress. With your support, we’ve already begun building a movement that reaches across 39 states and includes over 500 campaign volunteers and field directors.

I believe deeply in the work we’re doing. I believe we have a responsibility to act - and to act now. That’s why I’ve joined our Executive Director, Asher Moss, in personally making the maximum contribution of $5,000 to support this cause.

Now, I’m inviting you to join us in this critical mission.

Whether you can contribute $5, $25, $100, or more, your donation directly supports our work organizing in 39 states, briefing lawmakers, and powering campaigns to make foreign assistance not just good policy, but good politics.

This work is already having an impact. Just two days ago, our advocates met with the offices of Senators Tillis, Collins, Moody, and Cornyn. Yesterday, Senators Tillis and Collins publicly referenced the very talking points we shared with their teams.
