Together Against Hunger

Rethinking The Fight

October 12-13, 2022
Washington, D.C. & Online Everywhere

With our partners, Action Against Hunger is advancing a social movement to achieve a world without hunger.

We are connecting doers, activists, philanthropists, and policymakers to
REEVALUATE and REBOOT the fight against hunger. Hunger is preventable, not inevitable.
It’s time to rethink how we end hunger for everyone, for good.

TOGETHER, LET’S RETHINK THE FIGHT.

Founding Partners

About The Movement

The social movement featured an inaugural two-day hybrid event, convening an audience of practitioners, policymakers, activists, and the next generation of leaders in the fight to end hunger.

The agenda includes special film screenings and talk-backs, expert panel discussions, and high-profile interviews for both online and in-person audiences.

Program content is focused on the following themes:

Coming Together

Now more than ever, the anti-hunger community needs to come together to transform our approaches. Bold partnerships, new connections, and new ways of working that support collective problem-solving, learning, and fearless self-criticism will lay a foundation for this transformation. Success will come from building on our collective strengths.

Expanding the possible

The limits of our work must be broken, and our dreams must reach further. Ending hunger is not audacious, it is possible. The work has been hard, and it is getting harder, but we can reach farther if we holistically look at the drivers of hunger.

More than Commitment

Ending hunger demands that we move beyond words and challenge a status quo that has resulted in the highest rates of hunger in recent history. The problem is daunting, but each of us is part of the solution–and can commit to concrete actions and approaches that can support a transformation to a world without hunger. Come away with succinct and compelling narratives for support.

Human Power

Humans have the power to both create and dismantle the global hunger crisis. We will interrogate the structures enabling devastation while elevating select stories of those taking action to change the course. Power shifts require resetting. What does authentic sharing power look like? Through screening of film segments and conversations with the film directors, we identify pragmatic ways to reset power dynamics, in the greater good of ending hunger. Learn how action can be taken to set equality. Come away with specific actions and interventions suitable for additional financial support and renewed political will.

Scalable Solutions

Technical, evidence-based solutions exist yet the status quo has not changed. Which solutions need to be innovated, taken to scale? What is working and how can we do it better? Through this session we will select the must-have future proof solutions that can be taken to scale. Anticipate rigorous debate, based on evidence, and a collective decision process. Come away with confidence in your selection of “best bets” to end hunger.

More than Hope

Outrage, urgency, and hope. Our commitment to action to end hunger is realized and will carry us forward.
