In the Legislation section you will find a collection of bills we believe will be of special interest to citizens who support global solutions to problems that nations cannot solve independently. This legislation—from the current Congress and from previous sessions—is posted here for ease of monitoring by CGS members, supporters, and staff. Inclusion does not mean we support or oppose specific legislation. Where applicable, you will find the Take Action! icon in the event that you are interested in contributing to one of our campaigns related to a bill. We hope you find this compilation informative and useful in learning about what actions are being taken by Congress. If you want more information on specific bills that Citizens for Global Solutions is focused on and how your member of Congress voted on them, please see our Congressional Report Card.
