Expanding the Circle of Protection

This annual gathering will include discussion of both local and national food and hunger issues and tools for advocacy with our elected members of Congress.

The 2012 Offering of Letters campaign will address specific legislative topics that will come before Congress in 2012: nutrition, poverty-focused development assistance, tax policy, and food aid. See www.bread.org/go/OL2012 (beginning Jan., 2012) for more details about the Offering of Letters. For additional background reading on the issues, view or download the BFW annual report: Hunger 2012: Rebalancing Act: Updating U.S. Food and Farm Policies [194 pages,with study guide.]

The April 21st workshop will offer materials, key information, and creative learning experiences to equip you to organize an Offering of Letters in your church, campus, or group.
