With the unprecedented rise in food prices causing mass hunger around the world, a coalition of farmer organizations, churches, and social justice organizations in the U.S. and abroad, will be staging a 3-day Fast in Solidarity with the Famished of the World running Thursday evening through Sunday evening, 3 days corresponding to the 3 billion people now living under $2 per day.

Fasting is a powerful spiritual practice with the capacity to transform lives and unjust social structures.
