EXAMPLE OF ADVOCACY LETTER

Subject: Strengthen the U.S. Government’s efforts to help ending preventable

child and maternal deaths.

Dear Member of Congress:

Since 1990, deaths of mSothers and children under 5 worldwide have been nearly cut in half. This is one

of the greatest success stories in international development in the last 25 years. In partnership with

UNICEF, and with the strong support of Congress, the U.S. Government contributed greatly to this

progress by increasing access to lifesaving vaccines, quality nutrition, skilled birth attendants, and other

cost-effective interventions.

Despite this incredible progress, 16,000 children die every day -- mostly from preventable and treatable

causes such as pneumonia, diarrhea and malaria; and nearly 300,000 women die annually due to

complications during pregnancy or childbirth.

The United States committed to help end preventable child and maternal deaths within a generation.

Bipartisan legislation, the Reach Every Mother and Child Act (S. 1911 / H.R. 3706), would provide the

strategy and leadership needed to reach that goal. The legislation requires a U.S. government strategy to

help end preventable maternal, newborn and child deaths in a generation, focusing on the poorest and

most vulnerable populations; ensures coordination among U.S. government agencies to maximize the

effectiveness of U.S. programs; and creates innovative, public-private financing mechanisms to help fund

these efforts.

I support the goal of ending preventable child and maternal deaths, and I believe the U.S. must continue

to play a leadership role. Please co-sponsor S.1911 / H.R. 3706 today.

Thank you for your consideration,

< Your Name >

Courtesy of

UNICEF
