COVID-19 upended the health and livelihoods of millions all over the globe, pushing communities further into poverty and hunger and worsening inequality. An estimated 721 million people are living in extreme poverty, an increase of 100 million since last year. Our communities are in crisis, and we need our world leaders to step up and intervene.
The three main drivers of the hunger crisis are COVID-19, climate change, and conflict. It's time for governments to tackle these intersecting crises and address the long-term, systemic inequality that is both fueling and being worsened by them. We cannot solve this three-fold emergency without addressing inequality and acknowledging that historically marginalized communities are the ones that are hit the hardest.
We are calling on our world leaders to work together to build back better by confronting the root causes of poverty, hunger, and inequality. We need relief and recovery that allows people to thrive, not just survive.
