Sign Petition to TX Senator Cornyn Today – Youth PROMISE Act

Dear Friends in Texas – in a few days, Jeff Pudlo from our DC office will be meeting with your Senator, John Cornyn’s, office to talk with them about the Youth PROMISE Act. John Cornyn is important to us- he’s on the Judiciary Committee, which has the power to advance the Youth PROMISE Act, and as a Republican, he has worked with the same types of evidence based approaches to reducing violence the Youth PROMISE Act uses.

Ask TX Senator Cornyn to Cosponsor the Youth PROMISE Act!

Big Victory for International Peacebuilding Work!

We received our full requested ask for Conflict Stabilization Operation Bureau, bringing it up to $45.2 million (up from $27m in 2013), Complex Crises Fund received the full $40m (up from $36m in 2013) and there was also an additional $6,016,000 for U.S. Institute of Peace, bringing their total up to $37m (that’s still short of our $41m ask, but a healthy increase from last year).
