Ending hunger is possible, especially if we resolve to do it. We know because your persistent advocacy helped us win a major victory in 2016 and pass the Global Food Security Act. Thank you!

2017 will be a year of difficult challenges, but also a year full of opportunity. Congress is back in session today and a new president will be inaugurated on Jan. 20.

More legislation gets passed in the first year of a new presidency than at any other time during a presidential term. Your advocacy is critical right now.

Resolve to email, call, or write your members of Congress once a month.

Educate new members and remind returning members of Congress about hunger issues by setting up an in-district meeting with them or their staff.

Sign-up for bimonthly prayers and join thousands of others in Bread’s network praying to end hunger by 2030.

Organize a 2017 Offering of Letters in your church, campus, or community. Materials will be available by March 1.

Learn about the latest news, tools, and resources you need to advocate; bookmark the Activist Corner.

Volunteer and be a leader in your community or church by organizing an advocacy team or study group.

Ensure that our advocacy in 2017 is strong by becoming a member and making us part of your charitable giving.

Resolve to make advocacy to end hunger a habit this year.

We look forward to advocating with you to make 2017 another year when we continue to write hunger into history!
