Loaves and Fishes Day of Action

On March 20, 2013, faith groups large and small from across the country will participate in a day of action to raise the voices of our communities and demand a moral budget that asks the wealthy to pay their fair share. 

With 21 events across America, plus a press conference on Capitol Hill, the faith community will encourage Congress to question the austerity gospel, and remind them we have enough for all in this country. 
In the Christian tradition, we know of God’s plan for abundance for His people through Jesus’ miracle of multiplying the loaves and fishes. Bringing this story to life, you can join with other faith groups to rebut the austerity myth in the budget debate a nd urge your lawmakers to pass a moral budget that asks the wealthy to pay their fair share and protects the poor and vulnerable .
