AFT Pledging To Join the No Kid Hungry Campaign
Posted on Monday, August 23, 2010 at 8:02 PM by
In partnership with the nonprofit group Share Our
Strength (SOS), the AFT is gearing up to help launch the No Kid Hungry
campaign, which is aimed at eradicating child hunger by 2015. To start,
AFT affiliates are asking their members to take a No Kid Hungry pledge
online. What is the pledge? It's a national effort to mobilize Americans
in the fight to end child hunger. The campaign will give people tangible
actions they can take to connect children facing hunger with the
nutritious food they need every day. Like everything AFT members do both
in their lives and work, the pledge is for people who believe they can
make a difference in tackling a huge obstacle facing our nation's
children. The official launch of the No Kid Hungry campaign is planned
for November. In the meantime, take the pledge, ask your union brothers
and sisters to do the same, and stay tuned for other ways we can
mobilize AFT members to end childhood hunger.
