Top Grassroots Lobbyist at Bread for the World
According to The Hill, Monica Mills of Bread for the World is one of Washington’s top grassroots lobbyists. The article notes that Monica “is an effective advocate on Capitol Hill for anti-hunger programs.” The Hill story goes on to report that “the trick is to combine an activated grassroots network with representatives in Washington who can personally explain to members and their staff the real-world consequences of legislation.”
Monica leads the Government Relations team at Bread. Right now, they are all working overtime to prepare for Bread’s Gathering 2009 and the June 16 Lobby Day.

I have signed up for the 16 June Bread lobby day but have not received any information about when and where we are meeting on the American University campus that morning. I’ll be taking the MARC from Hopkins and willing to meet with Maryland representatves (or any congress person interested in overseas impact of Foreign Aid programs on malnutrition and disease). From Dr. Sack’s and my prospective of several decades of working in Africa and Bangladesh.
