Hunger Action Day in Sacramento

|
Last May, Hunger Action Advocate Pat Plant, and a group from the Presbytery visited Sacramento for the California Hunger Advocacy Coalition (CHAC) Hunger Action Day to lobby for more funding for hungry people.
We attended workshops, a spirited rally on Capitol steps (see human veggies at left who came to advocate for food stamp legislation), and met with Legislators who represent counties in our Presbytery to encourage their support of hunger-fighting legislation. |
