NO KID HUNGRY

Dear John,

If you're like us, after a week like this, you may
have dark moments where it feels like there is no way out: of this
pandemic, of structural racism and its deadly manifestations. And yet,
we know there is a path forward. For us, that path starts with
listening and then acting.

Even though it may seem implicit in who we are as an
organization, we must say out loud: Black lives matter. The killing of
unarmed Black men and women, and every other form and manifestation of
racism is unacceptable. For those who don't think that's
the business of an anti-hunger organization, we must also say out
loud: it is the business of all human beings. Systemic racism is a
reason why people of color make up a disproportionate share of the
hungry. Hunger cannot and will not be solved until systemic obstacles
like racism that give rise to poverty and inequality are addressed. We
are committed to amplifying our impact in this area.

This is the last email you will receive from No Kid Hungry
for a few days. While we are committed to doing our part to end racism
in its all forms, we believe now is a time to stand back and let other
voices be heard. You can be confident that the work goes on and your
support is having an impact on hungry kids.

We will be back in touch with our action plan. Stay safe
and healthy. And help keep us on the path toward a way out and a way
forward.
