EndHungerUSA2030 is a national call to action to eliminate U.S. hunger by engaging citizens in a national conversation, promoting a positive change, inviting participation and action, and generating the non-partisan public will to end hunger.
We're declaring Thanksgiving Day (November 28, 2024) as the "Greatest Day on Social Media," and inviting hundreds of thousands of social media influencers and content creators, corporations, schools and universities, organizations, fraternities and sororities, faith communities, and all Americans to "post with a purpose" on that day to connect the Thanksgiving traditions of gratitude, family, and unity with the need to make sure everyone in America has access to nutritional food. This is especially urgent now. While there was increased support during the COVID-19 pandemic for many families who had lost their jobs because of the lockdown, that support is now ended, food prices have gone up, and we have seen food insecurity increase in the last two years. According to the US Department of Agriculture (USDA), at least nine million more people in the U.S. experienced significant hunger in 2023, compared to 2021. About 5 million children (6.8% of all U.S. children) lived in food-insecure households in 2021, but that number has risen to nearly 14 million children in 2023 (representing about one in five children in the United States facing hunger). And some elected officials are trying to reduce food assistance even more. It’s critical that we don’t slide backward and make food security even more difficult for struggling families and individuals.

That’s why the EndHungerUSA2030 movement is so important. What is missing is the public will — millions of Americans engaging in the conversation and taking a public stand to end hunger in the world’s richest country. We are building a popular movement to bring attention to the issue of food insecurity in America, highlight the negative impact increasing food insecurity will have on our young people, and generate the media attention it deserves. We invite you to come on board!
Elected officials typically pay close attention to those groups who can get (or keep) them elected because they actively voice their concerns and show up to vote. We believe that the number of Americans who care about our fellow citizens and want US hunger to finally end is larger than any other constituency in America. But most Americans have never been asked to make the end of US hunger a national priority…until now. As Americans choose to join the EndHungerUSA2030 movement, they can add their individual voice to support the national movement of people committed to ending hunger in America by 2030. Every “yes” moves us closer to the goal. |
