Support life-saving landmine removal programs
Across the globe, landmines, bombs, and other explosives continue to threaten innocent men, women, and children. That's why HALO is hard at work removing these lethal hazards. From Yemen to Colombia, from Laos to Angola, we are saving lives, promoting development, empowering women, and allowing families to return home and rebuild their lives after conflict.
Let's make sure Congress continues to fund these life-saving demining programs. Ask your Representative to join the Unexploded Ordnance (UXO)/Demining Caucus and help ensure that families around the world no longer have to fear stepping on a landmine.
As your constituent, and a supporter of The HALO Trust, I am writing to ask you to prioritize increased funding for State Department global landmine removal programs and to join the bipartisan Congressional Unexploded Ordnance (UXO)/Demining Caucus.
Co-chaired by Reps. Chrissy Houlahan and Bill Johnson, this 40+ member caucus advocates for the support of life-saving U.S. demining and weapons security programs that protect vulnerable communities and serve U.S. security, economic, and political interests abroad. Please reach out to the offices of Rep. Houlahan or Johnson to join.
Please use your leadership position to support increased funding for global landmine removal programs in this year's Congressional budget and make demining a top priority.
