The campaign hunger games is all about fake stories on immigrants eating pets. But why is no one talking about solving the key problem: hunger. If you think the cost of eating is high, try the cost of not eating. Here’s my latest column for @gzeromedia gzeromedia.com/gzero-north/t…

There is no cavalry coming. No miracle solution. No saviors.
In the end, we, the American people - not any of our institutions - have to save our democracy by voting in defense of that democracy this fall.
We are the cavalry. The responsibility is ours.

I repeat my call for a humanitarian ceasefire in the Middle East, the unconditional release of all hostages, and the delivery of life-saving supplies at the scale needed.
Everyone must assume their responsibilities.
This is a moment of truth.
History will judge us all.

I am very grieved by what is happening in Israel and Palestine. I pray and I am close to all those who are suffering. I renew my appeal for spaces to be opened, for humanitarian aid to continue to arrive, and for the hostages to be freed.

"Today, nearly 7M women and children can breathe a sigh of relief — but only for a moment. Congress must next pass an appropriations bill that includes full funding for WIC to meet its expected rise in caseloads for the rest of the fiscal year." - Kate Franken, NWA Board Chair

In the spirit of Hunger Action Month, we're thrilled to shine a light on The Roundtable: Allies for Food Access - the first and only collaborative effort in NYC that leverages the experience of emergency food providers to bring more resources to communities.

“People experiencing food insecurity deserve more than the calorie-dense, ultra processed bare minimum. That means choice of food and access to options should not solely be a privilege of the wealthy.”

#Nonprofits help channel the energy, idealism, knowledge & talents of 60M volunteers annually. Every candidate gets photo-ops doing service….imagine if they acknowledged our sectors role, and included us in their vision for the future. Why imagine? #NationalNonprofitDay – at New Mexico, USA

Around the world, the rates of breastfeeding fall short of global targets. From 2015-2021, 47% of newborns initiated #breastfeeding within one hour of birth compared to the target of 70%.
We all have a role to play in supporting breastfeeding. #WBW2023

Amazing visit to @WSCAH—food is a human right & we need to treat those in need with dignity! Talking with providers, advocates & people experiencing food insecurity about how important it is to #DefendSNAP and support programs that empower & uplift local efforts to end hunger.

The GOP is pushing to ban abortion nationwide…
…while simultaneously proposing drastic cuts to food programs like WIC that help pregnant women, infants & children.
As my friend Barney Frank likes to say: clearly Republicans believe life begins at conception—and ends at birth.

This week, Congress will pass a nearly $1 trillion defense budget. But for the nearly 35 million Americans who are hungry, they won't feel more secure.
National security must be more than bullets and bombs. True national security ought to mean every American has enough to eat.

Warm wishes to all celebrating #EidAlAdha.
May this time of solidarity, empathy and compassion guide us to open our hearts and minds and find common ground in everyone’s human dignity.
Even amidst great division, we can build bridges and rise above our differences.

Retweet to tell @NYCMayor & @NYCCouncil New Yorkers need their libraries! Proposed budget cuts will mean shortened hours and reduced resources, and could end weekend service in branches across the city. #NoCutsToLibraries on.nypl.org/3Na4YHX
