Are we beginning to see the impact of recent U.S. policies on hungry people around the world? The answer is complicated. Read my analysis of the #SOFI Report on my blog: www.davidbeckmann.net/post/new-dat... #GlobalHunger #PovertyAbolitionists

The Senate’s decisions in the coming days will have real consequences for democracy, hunger and poverty, and the direction of our country. If you’re able, please contact your senators (see graphic): I’ve written more about these issues on my blog here lnkd.in/eFr3_iRh #ProtectDemocracy

Poverty is a solvable problem. Progress isn't automatic. But history shows that when people believe change is possible and work together to achieve it, poverty can be reduced and lives can be transformed. #PovertyAbolitionists #EndPoverty #EconomicJustice #commongood

Advocating for people in poverty is more difficult now than it has been in the thirty-five years I’ve worked in legislative advocacy. But I’ve also seen that it works—even in this tough political environment. davidbeckmann.net #Advocacy #PovertyAbolitionists

@bread4theworld.bsky.social's NYC dinner was especially strong this year. I was moved by Eugene Cho reflecting on Bread’s impact, even in a tough political moment. I’m also working with Norbert Beatty and Callisa Kirilinko to help share the message of "Poverty Abolitionists". #PovertyAbolitionists

The church leaders in the Circle of Protection have sent members of Congress a new letter about hunger in America. They note that nearly all churches are helping to feed hungry people, but churches and charities can’t do it all. (1/5) circleofprotection.us/wp-content/u... #SNAPworks

Voting matters—especially to regain progress against poverty. Primaries have already begun in many states and we cannot stay home at any stage of these elections. #PovertyAbolitionists #Primaries #Vote #Elections

MAGA’s hard-heartedness may be pushing some believers to rethink what it really means to follow Jesus. Read how "Recent Christian Pushback Against MAGA" on the blog here: www.davidbeckmann.net/post/recent-... #PovertyAbolitionists #christianity #FaithInGod

As we enter Lent, hundreds of the nation’s Christian leaders are calling on Christians across the country to speak out and take action at this time of crisis for #democracy and #faith. I joined thousand of others who have already signed this letter: acalltochristians.org I hope you will too.
