Dear Members of the Board,

We just released this statement<https://www.wfpusa.org/news-releases/statement-from-wfp-usas-richard-leach-on-the-presidents-full-fy18-budget/> from Rick about the impact of the White House's proposed 2018 budget on global food assistance and humanitarian aid.

I'm highlighting below some of the best lines from the statement in the hopes that you'll share on your social channels, and link to the statement:

·         Feeding a starving child is a profound act of moral leadership.

·         We invest in food security because it is an endless source of goodwill and demonstrates our shared humanity.

·         We invest in food security because violence feeds on hunger.

·         Stepping back from global leadership in the fight to alleviate hunger...would decrease the brightness of the American beacon that has long served as a signal of hope to those suffering from hunger. When the U.S. leads, the world takes note.
Thanks for your continued support,
Eri
