One in ten American households don’t have access to enough food.
The White House National Strategy on Hunger, Nutrition, and Health will advance economic security, increase access to free school meals, provide EBT benefits to more children, and expand SNAP eligibility.
TY @bread4theworld@MAZONusa@IslamicRelief for hosting a reception on the eve of the historic #WHConfHungerHealth! Seeing many anti-hunger advocates, I’m even more excited for tomorrow, hopeful for the future & ready to work and do what it takes to end hunger once and for all.
I’ve dedicated my career in public service to ending hunger in the U.S. & around the world.
Tomorrow is the start of a new era—with a new roadmap to end the sad reality that nearly 40 million Americans face: hunger.
I won’t stop until we’re successful. https://t.co/5ViVjx8rax
In a country where we spend billions on nuclear weapons, no child should go hungry.
The @WhiteHouse conference on hunger will learn from experts & those with lived experiences to transform how we think about food & develop solutions to end hunger now. https://t.co/ngHlcErTHE
This is a great synopsis of the problem of child nutrition in this country. One of a few great documentaries about this is A Place at the Table @APATTusa from 2012 so some things have changed but the folks who created it are doing some amazing advocacy work.
The first & only @WhiteHouse hunger conference took place in 1969. Funding is now signed into law for a second conference which is needed now more than ever. Join us and @RepMcGovern & @SenBooker - ask to @POTUS give the green light. #POTUS
HUGE NEWS: The government funding package @POTUS Biden signed into law today includes $2,500,000 I secured to make a White House conference on Food, Nutrition, Health & Hunger a reality!
This is a transformational moment in our movement to #EndHungerNow.
Use the @fractweets Action Network to urge your Members of Congress to sign-on to H.R. 6613, Keeping School Meals Flexible Act, a bipartisan effort to extend the @USDA#childnutrition waiver authority beyond the current expiration date of 6/30/22. https://t.co/TlNM1YEPWP
This commercial I was in manyyy years ago 2 raise awareness about hunger & food insecurity in the US is having a moment & I’m here for ittt! @tomcolicchio@lsilverbush
@iKev_sl This is a spoof spot I produced in 2015 with @BBHblacksheep and the great @gerardcaputo as part of @APATTusa's campaign to highlight the absurdity of hunger in the wealthiest nation on earth. (@LuciePohlComedy was perfect.) We also made this: https://t.co/FI3AL6BYK6
👏👏👏
The last @WhiteHouse Conference on Food, Nutrition, + Health in 1969 led to incredible change and more Americans fed.
Let's bring it back to ensure no student has to face food insecurity to earn their education.
Thank you @RepMcGovern@SenBooker for your leadership!
📢 @RepMcGovern and @SenBooker are officially introducing legislation to convene a national @WhiteHouse conference on food, nutrition, hunger and health so we can #EndHungerNow. RT to show them support!
