Government has an obligation to protect the welfare of children, elderly people, and people with disabilities by setting standards that ensure that all workers can meet their commitments at work and at home. That means making a flexible work schedule and paid sick, family, and parental leave available to all workers regardless of income.
Fair labor standards will make both families and the national economy healthier and more productive.
Income from work is the primary buffer against hunger for the vast majority of American families. Yet increasing numbers of jobs pay poverty-level wages. For most workers, wages are eroding in real value even as their productivity rises. When the economy grows, the top earners capture far more than their share of the gains. Nowhere does income inequality come into sharper focus than at the bottom of the income distribution, where the minimum wage sets the floor. Had wages and productivity risen at the same rate for everyone, as in the past, the poverty rate in 2007 would have been 44 percent lower than it was.

The number of people stalked by hunger in the United States has soared since the Great Recession. Every year since the turn of the millennium, at least 20 million Americans (one in 6) have been worried about running out of food. Hunger is a tragedy with high costs for families and our national economy. It’s time to admit to the new normal of hunger in America and get serious about changing it.
The document discusses the need to reform the United States' international food aid program, Food for Peace, to use funds more efficiently and help more hungry people. It notes that while food aid has helped billions of people, the programs could better address nutritional needs, especially of women and children. Reforms like local and regional procurement of food aid and increased flexibility in resource use could save money, reach more people faster with more nutritious foods, and promote agricultural development in recipient countries.
1. Over 100 Christian leaders signed a statement calling on leaders to protect funding for programs that help the poor when reducing budget deficits.
