Farm Bill update

This year's emphasis for our Public Policy work is to urge our senators and representatives to improve our nation's farm policy so that it better serves hungry people.

Already, our letters and phone calls are working. Bread For the World Regional Organizer Matt Newell-Ching reports that:

Thanks to our communication with our leaders, an Senators Dodd (D-CT) and Smith (R-OR) proposed an amendment to increase the International Affairs budget which would increase the amount of resources available for poverty-focused assistance. This added amendment is a critical one and was supported by over 1,000 phone calls from folks working hard for the hungry.

Let's keep it up! ~HAE
