Presbyterian Advocacy Hour: Fight Hunger and Poverty

  • Presbyterian Church (USA) - Zoom (map)

Fight Hunger and Poverty: 
Take Faithful Action in Challenging Times

April 23rd at Noon EDT (9am PDT)

Join us for an inspiring hour of learning, connection, and action as we confront the growing threats of hunger and poverty—both in the U.S. and around the world.

We’ll explore the impacts of dismantling and defunding critical safety nets, from nutrition programs at home to life-saving international aid, and consider how we can respond faithfully and effectively. Together, we’ll take real-time advocacy action, share practical resources, and encourage one another to move forward with determination and hope.

We’ll be guided by the wisdom and experience of partners who are directly impacted and actively working for change:

Angelina Nyajima Simon, Founder and Executive Director, Hope Restoration South Sudan
Susuyu Lassa, Alumni and Partnerships Coordinator, Soul Fire Farm (Grafton, NY)

Let’s gather in faith, act with courage, and be inspired by stories of resilience and faithful resistance.
You are warmly invited—come be part of the movement!
