Global Nutrition

Use our current global poverty laser talks in your upcoming lobby meetings, letters to the editor, and e-mails to Congress.

Review the recording and slide deck (PDF version/PPT version) for our May forum featuring Crickett Nicovich and Karyne Bury of RESULTS. We discuss the context for our upcoming International Conference advocacy work and focus in on the global education and nutrition requests that will be at the forefront. We also walk through examples of how to make an inclusive case for ending global poverty.

Review the recording and the first and second companion slide decks  for our April forum which featured Meaza Getachew of 1,000 Days and Crickett Nicovich of RESULTS. We discussed the critical nature of early life nutrition interventions in the context of global opportunities that are arising in 2021 to move the issue forward.

We celebrated COVID relief successes and looked at the 2021 campaigns on global education and nutrition. We learned about the appropriations process and tools available to us. We took action together online and prepared for taking deeper action with congressional staff.

Every year, Congress decides how to spend the money in the U.S. federal budget. RESULTS urges our lawmakers to support issues that build the foundation to end poverty – health, education, and economic opportunity. These are memos you can use to make FY22 requests of your members of Congress.

The February DFW/RESULTS webinars were fun. We learned: 1) why meetings with Congress are our most important advocacy tactic, 2) how to schedule a congressional meeting, 3) what makes a good meeting. Then we planned a meeting and did a live practice. It was great!
