Petition the Government
First Amendment to the United States Constitution
“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”
From that last phrase we get both the right and the obligation to petition the government. Bread for the World, of which St. Luke’s is a member, asks us to help them get our Congress persons to pass the 2024 Farm Bill on behalf of those here and abroad who do not have enough to eat. Information about the 2024 Farm Bill and a simple way to convey your message to your Congress persons is found by following this Link
Bread for the World is a Christian advocacy organization urging U.S. decision makers to do all they can to pursue a world without hunger. Our mission is to educate and equip people to advocate for policies and programs that can help end hunger in the U.S. and around the world.
Leaders in Congress really do listen to their constituents. Every letter you write to your representatives on Capitol Hill is read and cataloged – and tells your representative which issues to prioritize.
