Join us for an inspiring and informative talk by David Beckmann about the key themes; that advocacy with the U.S. Congress is an effective way to push for social justice; the importance of making sure that people who are adversely affected by social injustice are heard; and responding to the results of the November elections.
As President of Bread for the World from 1991-2020, David led people and churches across the country in successful advocacy with Congress. He founded the Alliance to End Hunger, which includes interfaith members, charities, corporations, and universities.
David was awarded the World Food Prize for his advocacy contribution to the world’s progress against hunger. He is both a Lutheran pastor and a former World Bank economist. David is working in new ways to help move us from the current crisis toward the end of hunger and poverty. He is the Coordinator of the Circle of Protection, an advocacy coalition of church bodies and organizations that include 100 million people.
Attend on December 6th to hear David Beckmann’s thoughts on doing work for social justice in the federal context. This fundraising event will support UUSJ's engagement during the 118th Congress; we deeply appreciate David's availability for comments.
