United Nations General Assembly Sustainable Development Goals Summit | Honored to interact with UN Sec General @AntonioGuterres + UNHCR @FilippoGrandi on civil society engagement in recommitting to SDGs during the 78th session! #SDG2#SDG16#UNGA#UNGA2023
Grateful to @bread4theworld for championing @IFAD’s mission to secure vital funding in the fight against global hunger. Together, we’re helping rural communities build a more food‑secure future.
Praising our US Senators for advancing two important increases in international food aid programs in the FY25 Ag Appropriations Full Commuttee Markup!
$101M over FY24 for Food for Peace and $10M increase over FY24 for McGovern-Dole Food for Education program
We're back live from Capitol Hill, bringing you the latest on the Senate's FY 25 Agriculture Appropriations Full Committee Mark-Up.
Stay tuned for updates on continuing to press for robust food aid and development assistance funding!
Thrilled to represent at this morning’s FY25 House Ag Appropriations Markup. We recognize the need to adhere to the fiscal agreements but pray for level Food for Peace, McGovern Dole and LRP numbers in tomorrow’s Senate markup.
This morning, live from Capitol Hill, members of Bread's Government Relations team (@DrSequenzia) continued to press for robust food aid and development assistance funding during the House FY 25 Agriculture Appropriations Full Committee Mark-Up.
Here’s what you need to know.
Thrilled to be quoted in the recently published @devex article advocating for wise improvements to international development and food security programs authorized by the Farm Bill. @bread4theworld . https://t.co/i6PUZprobB
Thrilled at the passage of $9 B in humanitarian aid! As chair of the Interfaith Working Group on Foreign Assistance, I would like to acknowledge strategic advocacy of our multi-faith partners. Thank you to everyone! Today is a WIN for our shared humanity. https://t.co/7KBhLhr7Nu
Congress needs to ensure that @USAID and partner aid organizations such as @WFP have enough funding to address the worsening crises in Gaza, Sudan, and elsewhere. It can do so by passing the supplemental humanitarian aid package. @potus#SOTU#Gaza#Sudan https://t.co/x7RiNf3sj9
In northern Gaza, 1 in 6 children under the age of two suffer from severe malnutrition and wasting. This is the highest level of child malnutrition anywhere in the world. We must do everything we can to safely increase the flow of humanitarian aid. @potus#SOTU#Gaza
Bread supports the president’s efforts to increase the delivery of desperately needed food aid to Gaza. The entire population, 2.2 million people, is in the grasp of extreme food insecurity, with more than a quarter facing famine. @potus#SOTU#Gaza
Listen in as @DrSequenzia updates us on the emergency supplemental humanitarian assistance package introduced in the Senate. Join us in urging your congressional members to vote IN FAVOR of keeping ALL humanitarian aid attached to the supplemental package.
All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights.

Peace is possible. Today, I stand to condemn terroristic attacks by #Hamas in #Israel. Innocent communities are caught in the #Iran funded violence of primal conflict resolution and it’s time the @WhiteHouse took a stronger stand. #TwoStateSolution#StopIran#StopHamas
We unequivocally condemn the appalling attacks by Hamas terrorists against Israel. We stand in solidarity with the government and people of Israel and extend our condolences for the Israeli lives lost in these attacks.
Today is the International Day of Non-Violence. Bread for the World stands with communities and voices committed to establishing peace and stability.
