Join us at the UN to End World Hunger
11 years ago, governments at the UN committed to halving hunger by 2015. At that time, there were 800 million hungry people across the globe. Today, 854 million are hungry.

And 35,000 people are dying a day because of hunger.

This is about politics, apathy, and corporate greed. Protesters from more than 9 countries be outside of the United Nations at Ralph Bunch Plaza every day from 1:00-3:00PM September 18-21st. Please join us if you can, even for an hour, to make our voices heard.

You can learn more about what we're doing on our blog: http://hungerfree.wordpress.com

Ralph Bunche Plaza is at 1st Avenue, between 42nd 43rd Streets, in Manhattan, NY.

The protest isn't going to be huge, since Bunch Plaza isn't huge, and because of that, every voice counts. The protest will be held during lunch time, when the UN delegates leave the building. We'll be right across the street from the front entrance.

Hope to see you there! I'm going to post this same message on the blog in an hour or so, but wanted to get it to DU first!
