Feminist activists are not deterred by the daunting statistics so much as they're fueled by them.
Save USAID
At first glance, cutting foreign aid might seem like a smart move for a country trying to focus inward. But when we dig deeper, especially into the story of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), the picture is far more complex—and far more dangerous. While headlines talk about billions spent overseas, what often goes unnoticed is just how much of that spending directly benefits American industries, American jobs, and yes—American security. The recent budget slashes to USAID, driven by “America First” rhetoric, might be one of the most short-sighted policy moves in recent memory.

Feminist but Feminine: Why Loving Lipstick Doesn’t Make Me Less Woke. AI-Generated.
