WASHINGTON (June 10, 2013) – Tom Hart, ONE US Executive Director, applauded the global civil society event, “Sustaining Political Commitments to Scaling Up Nutrition,” hosted by Bread for the World, Concern Worldwide and others. He said:

 “This gathering is an historic opportunity to tackle the problems of hunger and malnutrition in the U.S. and abroad. The lack of access to nutritious food results in millions of global deaths each year, many of them children, and Bread for the World and Concern are playing a critical role in calling attention to this important issue.

We are delighted that their members are in Washington, D.C. this week to meet global experts and lobby policymakers for smart, effective solutions that promise a world where nobody goes to bed hungry and malnourished.”
