I’m an American who is heartbroken about the distressing statistics on world hunger and extreme poverty. As most readers of posts from communities such as this one know, approximately 20,000 people worldwide die of starvation every day, while nearly one billion individuals struggle to survive on less than $2 per day. Americans have a shared responsibility to care about this urgent issue and take active steps towards eliminating global hunger and extreme poverty.

According to the United Nations' Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) 2015 estimate, an investment of around $267 billion would be needed to achieve the UN’s Sustainable Development Goal of "Zero Hunger" by 2030. (Events that have occurred since 2015 have likely made it so that it would now take longer, but perhaps not much longer.) One suggestion to consider is initiation of a movement that encourages adult Americans to contribute $68 each month toward world hunger relief, taking into consideration that the population of adults in the United States alone could meet that $267 billion monetary need if they donated that amount on average. It’s mind boggling to consider that US adults have the potential to meet the financial requirements for eradicating world hunger!

How would such a movement be different from (or effectively complement) the plethora of excellent efforts to spur concerned citizens on to deep compassion that now exist? It would be different to a degree because people who participated would know that they were targeting the tangible goal of near-elimination of world hunger and could be provided with measurable results about the impact of their donations. They would not need to consider their donation efforts as being akin to “throwing money into a bottomless pit.” They would know that if all Americans did as much as they did that world hunger would very significantly decrease in a relatively short period of time. And they could take healthy pride in knowing that they were leading by example through giving in such a focused manner.

For those who would find it challenging to allocate such an amount from their budgets, another option would be engaging in part-time work alongside their full-time jobs. By donating the earnings exclusively to reputable world hunger relief organizations, individuals could make an active contribution to the cause. Speaking for myself, I’m retired but I dedicate 10-12 hours per week to part-time work, generating funds that I donate to two reputable world hunger relief organizations. It is a very modest sacrifice on my part, and I share this not to boast but to express my commitment to such an effort and legitimately say that I’m doing more than just “mouthing off” about all this.

If anyone is interested in discussing this matter further, I’d be happy to. I’d prefer to keep the discussions online and can only support the charities I currently contribute to. Thank you for taking the time to read this message.

We can stop all wars, all poverty, all hatred and all crime with “The World Fairness Agreement.” It is in the menu of my website- thewayoffairness.com - it is only one page long. It is a simple idea that we need to make happen with world unity.

I propose that we create world unity with The World Fairness Agreement. It is one page on my website. thewayoffairness.com

I want this Reddit group to blow up. I went create this on my own then was at first happy to see it was already taken name wise. But to see only a few hundred members and 4 online was very sad and no posts in years. Well anyone who may see this I will try my best to attract people myself. Please people together accomplish great things people divided cause wars. One world with the same goal. To learn what we don’t know and excel.

I'm working on a project about the rise of nationalism. I want to touch on globalism and push people to organizations they can support that will help combat the rise of nationalism around the world and help people view the world as a larger collective rather than individual warring states.

Any thoughts or resources are appreciated!
