Global Poverty

November 2024: Write a letter to the editor about global nutrition and global poverty

Each year, almost five million children will die before their fifth birthday. Malnutrition is the underlying cause of almost half of those deaths. Proper nutrition can make or break a child’s chance at surviving illness and other harms of dire poverty. Now, world leaders are gearing up to make pledges to a key global partnership. Nutrition for Growth (N4G) helps increase access to nutritious food for children. The world is getting better at providing a healthier start to life for all children. Global child deaths have decreased by more than half since 1990. This is due to longstanding support and partnerships. But millions of children still die from preventable or treatable causes. To that end, we must address not only global malnutrition, but also other scourges of poverty. Use this action sheet in a local outreach meeting to help get your concerns printed in your local media.

Fall 2024: Protect SNAP in the next Farm Bill
Everyone deserves a healthier life and access to nutritious foods. An integral tool for ensuring that all Americans have access to basic nutrition is the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). SNAP currently serves over 42 million people each month. As Congress works on a new Farm Bill, some leaders want to cut SNAP benefits by $30 billion over the next decade. We must protect and strengthen this vital program, and you can do so by writing Congress directly.
