CARE on Capitol Hill Social Media Toolkit
Spread the word and take others on the journey
CARE is headed to Capitol Hill this October 20-21 to highlight the urgent need for U.S leadership amidst this moment of unprecedented need.
Together, we’ll urge the U.S. Congress to prevent further cuts to international assistance and protect programs that address the root causes of poverty, advance women’s and girls’ empowerment, and build stronger, more resilient communities around the world.
We invite you to share your experience on social media by using the prompts below.
Please note, as you'll be posting as a CARE advocate while you're in D.C. with us, we ask that you stay focused on speaking to your experience and what you're advocating for.
Upon Arrival
Share the text below with a picture when you arrive in DC.

Ready to speak up with @careorg and protect U.S. international aid from harmful cuts.
This funding saves lives, fights hunger, and builds a safer, more secure future for us all.
