1 Billion Hungry Petition

                         

The www.1billionhungry.org project offers a constructive outlet for feelings of frustration and anger about hunger. This is an orchestrated drive to attract one million signatures to a worldwide petition calling on national and international leaders to move hunger to the top of the political agenda. We urge universities and colleges to get competitive and creative. The petition will be presented to world leaders at the United Nations headquarters in October.

“WE WHO SUPPORT THIS PETITION FIND IT UNACCEPTABLE THAT CLOSE TO ONE BILLION PEOPLE ARE CHRONICALLY HUNGRY, THROUGH THE UNITED NATIONS, WE CALL UPON GOVERNMENTS TO MAKE THE ELIMINATION OF HUNGER THEIR TOP PRIORITY UNTIL THAT GOAL IS REACHED.”
