Happy Hump Day, Shit Givers.
In the spirit of World Food Day this week, we’re zooming out to take a global view on how to end hunger.
It’s actually not rocket science! What we need is funding and political-will, which are both things you can actually move.

Let’s go.

Root causes, not charity
Hunger isn’t a food-supply problem, but a poverty and power problem, and the funding that addresses either is currently under threat.
Here’s what you can do:

Get smart
A little context goes a long way here: who delivers care, how crisis response works, and what the real numbers look like.
Here’s what you can do:

That’s it for this week.
Thank you — as always — for giving a shit.
