USGLC CEO on Emergency COVID-19 Funding

WASHINGTON, D.C. – The President and CEO of the U.S. Global Leadership Coalition, Liz Schrayer, released the following statement on emergency funding for COVID-19:

While addressing the urgent health and economic crisis facing our nation, the bipartisan response for the State Department and USAID was a good down payment. But it’s time to get real because there is no way to defeat COVID-19 or any future pandemic at home unless we are also fighting it around the world – and that means a serious commitment to global health security.

Since 1995, the U.S. Global Leadership Coalition (USGLC.org) has been bringing together bipartisan political, military, business, farmer, faith, nonprofit, and community leaders from across the country to advocate on the strategic imperative of American leadership for advancing our own security, prosperity, and values. We believe that smart investments in international assistance and diplomacy, alongside defense, can make the world safer and America stronger.
