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.

Fantastic #WHConfHungerHealth panel featuring @SenatorBooker @SenatorBraun @AmbRice46 @RepMcGovern. Highlighting that this should not be a partisan issue, and we have the capabilities to end hunger in America.

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. bostonglobe.com/2022/09/27/n…

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. cnn.com/2022/05/04/politics/…

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. p2a.co/1ARaoWb
Please sign on to this petition if you believe like we do that ending hunger in America is possible and necessary.

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: youtu.be/WBcX2EBwnNI

👏👏👏
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!
