Join Ruth Messinger, President of American Jewish World Service, to learn about the politics behind the global hunger crisis. Speaking from her own experiences in the developing world and on Capitol Hill, Ruth will propose how we can influence our government to address the root causes of hunger and poverty and put an end to the world's growing hunger problem from the ground up. Sharing the words of dedicated volunteers, students, community leaders and skilled professionals, Ruth will tell of the enormous transformative impact we can make as global citizens working to ensure lasting social justice.
