Take Action: Hunger Crisis
Share
Right now, 30 countries are in immediate need of emergency food assistance and essential seeds and fertilizer.
As world leaders meet in NYC this week to discuss the Millennium Development Goals at the UN Summit, ONE members are signing a petition to the G8 leaders asking them to commit critical funding to address the world food crisis. Without addressing this crisis now – all other poverty-fighting efforts will be blunted.
If you haven’t already, please sign today. And if you have, please forward this on to your friends.
Petition text:
Please provide life-saving food and essential seeds and fertilizer to the 30 countries that need it most by filling the 2008 food and agriculture funding gap of $1 billion without delay.
