No Kid Hungry: A Childfree Latina’s Mission for Podcasthon - New Episode
A very special episode
When I was very young, I heard someone say that the worst offenders are the ones who hurt children, because kids are defenseless and vulnerable.
This is probably why any child sex predator in prison is treated so poorly. Because even amongst the lawless, there is a boundary.
And that boundary is kids.
And you know what? I agree. So this week, we’re focusing on one of the worst most toxic things we’ve normalized as a society: allowing children to starve.
Episode Description
Why should a childfree Latina care about starving children? Because empathy is free! And if you're someone who pays attention, you know that a well-educated public is the foundation of a strong society. But here’s the hard truth: hungry kids struggle to learn.
We’re far from being the strong, well-educated society we could be, and that gap is costing us all more than we realize. Just look at what's going on in this country right now.
Here’s a heartbreaking stat: 14 million children in the U.S. woke up this morning without enough food to eat. Let that sink in. 14 million.
That’s why, as part of the global Podcasthon project highlighting worthy causes, this episode is shining a light on the incredible work No Kid Hungry is doing to fight child hunger across the country.
