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.

Speakers:
Kate Bronfenbrenner, Director of Labor Education Research at Cornell University ILR School and editor of the new book, "Global Unions: Challenging Transnational Capital Through Cross-Border Campaigns."

Augustin Ramirez, ILWU Lead Organizer, who worked on the international campaign targeting Blue Diamond Growers.

Valery Alzaga, SEIU Global Department Regional Campaign Coordinator, who helped coordinate the Justice for Cleaners campaign in London with T&G.
