Fasting and Prayer to Protect Vulnerable People

We don't have a budget crisis in Washington. We have a moral crisis. A large coalition of Christian, Muslim, Jewish and other advocacy organizations have announced a broad-based movement of fasting, prayer and advocacy called Hunger Fast. This action was provoked by budget cuts proposed by Congress that would disproportionately hurt those living in poverty.

Leaders of these and other organizations will be joining in fasting, prayer and other acts of personal sacrifice over the course of the next several weeks, and are challenging people of faith and conscience to form a "Circle of Protection" around programs benefiting poor and hungry people.
