Tell Congress to condemn the use of hunger as a weapon of war

Hi friend,

My name is Farah Ahmad, and I’m Mercy Corps’ Food Security and Policy
Fellow.

I’m reaching out because we have a unique opportunity to help make a
massive impact on global hunger. Right now, Congress is considering
H.Res.922, a resolution that would condemn the use of hunger as a weapon
of war. This bipartisan bill could impact 100 million people living in
places where conflict is the main driver of food crises.

H.Res.922 and the children, women, and men facing conflict-induced hunger
around the world ▸

[ Ibrahim ]Ibrahim in Nigeria
After his farm was devastated by the ongoing conflict in Nigeria, Ibrahim
received supplies and training on better farming techniques from Mercy
Corps.


We see the effects of conflict on hunger in countries like Nigeria, where
the Boko Haram insurgency has led to restricted agriculture activities,
displaced farmers, and driven up the cost of food. As a result, 8.6
million people don’t have enough to eat in northeast Nigeria.

In response, Mercy Corps has implemented agricultural support programs —
which include training, grants, and loan programs — to help farmers
recover their operations. With this support, farmers are able to make an
income, improve their livelihoods, and feed their families and
communities.

Last year, Mercy Corps’ agriculture and nutrition programs reached more
than 12 million people around the world. We’re committed to working with
communities to develop smart solutions to the underlying causes of hunger.
And we’re committed to advocating for policies like H.Res.922 — helping
eradicate hunger for those most at risk, and demanding accountability from
those that willfully impede access to food.

The
more of us who take action, the louder our voices and the larger our
influence. [ [link removed] ]Please urge Congress to support H.Res.922 and help us draw
attention to the conflict-induced food insecurity affecting so many
families.

From all of us at Mercy Corps, thank you for everything you do. Together,
we can build a world where everyone, everywhere, has access to the food
and nutrition they need.
