Together, we will:

• Revive our spirits and renew our commitment to the task of ending hunger.
   
• Develop new skills for motivating our fellow citizens and mobilizing our faith communities.
   
• Strategize about how best to influence our nation’s decision-makers.
   
• Visit our representatives’ and senators’ offices on Capitol Hill to speak out for hungry people.
   
• Plan what we will do in the coming months and years to seek justice for hungry and poor people in our country and around the world.

This year, for the first time, we will hold a presidential engagement where we will have the opportunity to interact with candidates directly, hearing how they would use the highest office in our nation to help reduce hunger and poverty. Leaders of national faith communities will gather with us for the continuation of our galvanizing 2005 Interfaith Convocation. We will undergo intensive training on issues and advocacy, hear inspirational speakers and worship together. We will forge collaborations with fellow Christians, faith leaders, advocates, and citizens. And we will emerge renewed, energized, equipped and empowered.

Come, sow the seeds of change in a nation and a world where too many people are still hungry.
