Friend –

As world leaders gather in New York for the United Nations General Assembly this week, one issue that will be front and center is addressing the global food crisis. The United States will host a Global Food Security Summit today,  which I will attend, and I wanted to make sure you saw our full-page message in the Wall Street Journal this morning, raising the voices of America’s Heartland that Global Food Security = National Security.

• See the full page ad below – and help spread the word by sharing it on Twitter and Facebook.

I will be sharing this message from America’s Governors and Mayors – and our newly launched Farmers for Prosperity initiative – throughout my engagement this week at many events, including USAID’s "Democracy Delivers" convening, and on the Concordia stage.

I will have a full report from New York later in the week.

Until then,
Liz
