Hunger is injustice. Together we can end it!
Hunger and poverty are caused by political choices that shape public policy. Ending hunger means improving those choices and policies.
Let your representatives in government know how you feel. It is our right – and our responsibility – as constituents to speak out for our needs and demand action.
The actions below on this page explain why (and how) you should contact specific elected officials about key issues. Your calls and emails make a difference!
