A Common Pitch on the Global Food Security Act

The Global Food Security Act (GFSA) would empower communities to feed themselves. It creates long-lasting solutions to chronic hunger by focusing more on support and skills training to local communities, including women farmers, and improving agricultural productivity.  -CARE

Bread for the World, ONE, CARE and other anti-hunger organizations have mobilized their members to send an email or call Congress today, April 12, urging our representatives to vote in favor of  H.R. 1567, the Global Food Security Act. If you haven't done so, please contact your representative TODAY, urging him or her to vote in favor of this important initiative. (Many of our legislators are members of the House Hunger Caucus, so you might want to drop them a note thanking him or her for participating in the caucus while urging him or her to support this important piece of legislation).

ONE
The House is voting on the Global Food Security Act on Tuesday Over the last two weeks, ONE members worked hard to get more than 120 members of Congress to support this bill, which will help make sure some of the world’s poorest people have the sustainable tools they need to fight hunger for good. Now we need to make sure that the House passes it. Send a message to your member of Congress -- Representative Michelle Lujan Grisham -- and tell her to vote YES tomorrow for H.R. 1567, the Global Food Security Act. Nearly 800 million people around the world suffer from hunger. But this bill will help developing countries grow their way out of hunger, malnutrition, and extreme poverty for good. We just need to get it passed. And your voice could make a huge difference. Investing in agriculture is one the best ways to reduce poverty in Africa -- tell your representative to pass H.R. 1567 NOW.
