Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. reminds us that โInjustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly.โ
If your heart is saddened by pending crisis of more than 15 million children going hungry, please donโt only shake your head or complain. Please take ACTION.
(1) Donate to one of the congregations listed inย this โIn Good Faithโ articleย by the UUA
(2) Collaborate with a neighborhood organization who is donating food, or simply
(3) donate to your neighborhood food pantry
(4) One more thing, donโt forget to ๐ฅVOTE๐ฅ
You may not have given birth to these children who will be impacted. You may never see their faces. But I hope you feel for them and for our country.
They may not be your children, but they are all OUR children. If our current administration wonโt feed them, letโs help. No child deserves to go hungry. Mitigating this crisis starts with us. Amen.
P.S.
