September 2024: Ask Congress to sign onto letter on global nutrition

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. But last year, almost five million children still died before their fifth birthday. Millions of people cannot access good nutrition when they need it most. Malnourished children can face lifelong disability or death. Every four years, the host of the Olympics also hosts the Nutrition for Growth Summit. World leaders from governments, businesses, and nonprofits will come together to make pledges and commitments. The U.S. must lead. The Nutrition for Growth Dear Colleague letter is now closed. A new Action Sheet will be available September 21.

August 2024: Congress must stop the criminalization of homelessness

In June 2024, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled it was constitutional for state and local jurisdictions to criminalize homelessness. This terrible decision does not take into account the circumstances that force individuals into homelessness, nor does it solve the underlying problem – the skyrocketing cost of rent. The only remedy is for Congress to step in. Write letters to your members of Congress urging them to stop the criminalization of homelessness and to improve the availability and accessibility of affordable housing. (Word version)
