Raiding nearly $49M meant for contraception in poorer countries won’t fix soaring energy bills. Trump gives tax breaks to the wealthiest while women’s health becomes the piggy bank. 
Address energy costs. Protect family planning, as Congress requires. Don’t pit one need against another.

For 42 years, the #GlobalGagRule has disrupted health care, restricted access to contraception and undermined #ReproductiveFreedom around the world. Today, the policy is more expansive than ever. After 4 decades of harmful consequences, it’s long past time to end it for good.

👏 Thank you, @RepGraceMeng! The Saving Lives and Taxpayer Dollars Act will prevent the unnecessary waste and destruction of goods on the taxpayer’s dime. We have the explainer here: pai.org/resources/support-th…
This Administration can’t do a pool renovation right. No wonder a new report requested by Congress confirms the Administration needlessly destroyed $8 million of lifesaving birth control supplies. Now, instead of saving lives by distributing the remaining supplies, it’s also wasting hundreds of thousands of your taxpayer dollars to store them. I helped introduce the Saving Lives and Taxpayer Dollars Act to fight this waste and stand up for women, girls, and families here and around the world who want to determine when and how they start a family. newsnationnow.com/politics/r…

Thank you, @RepGraceMeng! The #GlobalGagRule is an overreach that threatens global health systems, weakens emergency response efforts, and silences the very providers and civil society organizations working to save lives and promote human rights. #EndTheGGR
Republicans are pushing a new policy to inject extreme, right-wing social policies into foreign aid. This Expanded Global Gag Rule is already hurting women and girls, minorities, and LGBTQ+ communities worldwide. I introduced the Protecting Human Rights and Public Health in Foreign Assistance Act to repeal it. Taxpayer dollars should protect health and human rights—not political agendas.

Thank you @RepLoisFrankel and @RepGraceMeng for your continued leadership in demanding transparency and accountability to ensure the U.S. continues to invest in family planning/reproductive health foreign assistance, as directed by Congress. 👏
What "directive" is the Secretary talking about?

Funding for international family planning is the law.  
But the Trump Administration would rather destroy millions of dollars of taxpayer-funded health supplies and withhold funding for lifesaving care. @RepGraceMeng and I will continue demanding answers.

PAI joined dozens of organizations calling on Congress to strengthen fiscal guardrails in FY2027 appropriations bills and ensure the Trump administration cannot unlawfully withhold, delay, or redirect congressionally approved funding. Read more: cleanbudget.org/appropriator…

Another year, another attempt to roll back global reproductive health and rights: House Republicans’ FY2027 foreign aid bill would cut FP/RH funding by 24%, eliminate UNFPA funding, and codify the expanded #GlobalGagRule. Read our latest Washington Memo: pai.org/resources/lather-rin…

Thank you @RepGraceMeng, @RepLoisFrankel, @RepDianaDeGette, @RepJayapal, @RepSaraJacobs, and @GregMeeksNYC for championing The Protecting Human Rights and Public Health in Foreign Assistance Act to end the #GlobalGagRule PAI's statement: pai.org/news/new-bill-seeks-… #EndTheGGR
The Trump Administration just rolled out an Expanded Global Gag Rule that conditions lifesaving aid on adoption of extreme far-right, anti-abortion, anti-equality policies. This dangerous agenda doubles down on USAID cuts, puts millions at risk, and threatens our national security. I’m leading legislation to reverse these policies—we won’t stop fighting attacks on women and girls, marginalized communities, and LGBTQ+ people.

What would it cost the U.S. to pay its fair share to meet the global need for contraception? Here's the math: $14B global need ➡️ $2.1B U.S. fair share That’s more than 3x FY2026 enacted levels. Read more: pai.org/resources/just-the-m… #FamilyPlanning #ForeignAid #JustTheMath

Catch our analysis of the presidential budget request in our Washington Memo here: Zero Sum Game—Trump Budget Request Proposes Zeroing Out Family Planning Funds and Continues to Starve Global Health Programs pai.org/resources/trump-fy-2…
The White House FY2027 budget proposes $0 for international family planning. It’s part of an alarming pattern: 🚫 Rescind $500M FP/RH funds 🚫Waste $10M in contraceptives 🚫Defund UNFPA 🚫Expand the Global Gag Rule Congress has rejected this before. Will it do so again?

Trump’s FY27 budget request proposes dramatic cuts to global health & notes that US funding shouldn’t support “unfettered access to birth control.” This is an assault on contraceptive services & a threat to women & families worldwide. Read PAI’s statement: bit.ly/3NHUYKD

The Trump administration has expanded the Global Gag Rule to restrict what organizations can do with their voices and their funding. In 2026 it applies to new funding, new issues, and new entities. Visit GlobalGagRule.org for the latest. #GlobalGagRule #GGR

On #InternationalWomensDay we recognize the power women have when they can decide their own futures. Access to contraception helps make that possible. When women thrive, their communities do too. Join the movement: FreedomStartsWithHer.org #GiveToGain #IWD2026

The #GlobalGagRule just got worse. New rules extend it beyond abortion to DEI and LGBTQ+ programs across all non-military U.S. foreign assistance—potentially affecting $40B in funding. Our latest Washington Memo breaks it down: pai.org/resources/bound-and-… #MexicoCityPolicy
