Here’s hoping that Pepsi’s #ZeroHunger pledge involves them shifting the millions they spend lobbying to kill soda taxes to programs that end hunger! 🤞
How does it work? 👇 The #ZeroHunger pledge will launch at The Summit in September with more than 100 companies. Many are already on board - and we just added PepsiCo to the pledge today! 💪
