Restore Funding to UNESCO
We, the caring citizens of the United States, are outraged over the withdrawal of U.S. funds from the vital U.N. organization UNESCO. We would like to urge all those in power to work to overturn the archaic law requiring that we withdraw support from thousands of needy people over a conflict that most of them are not a part of.
Why is this important?
The U.S. recently withdrew $60 million from UNESCO, a U.N. organization that provides vital support to thousands of needy people around the world. This was because UNESCO voted to allow Palestine as a member, and an old U.S. law requires our government to cut funding from any organization that officially recognizes Palestine. Regardless of whatever feelings we may have about the Israel-Palestine conflict, we cannot allow innocent people around the world to become the collateral damage of that conflict. Please join me in asking Congress and President Obama to overturn this archaic law, and restore funding to these vital and non-partisan programs.
