From Oxfam America (http://www.oxfamamerica.org):

The Global Food Security Act (GFSA) passed both House (last week) and Senate (last night (4/20)! Oxfam applauds this because it places strong, bipartisan Congressional support behind global efforts to tackle food insecurity and malnutrition around the world. For more information on the importance of the bill and the very long road we’ve had to get here, read this blog post. To read our full reactive click here.

Many thanks to everyone that has signed a letter, made a call, done a lobby visit or taken action on GFSA over the years. We truly couldn’t have done it without you and your powerful voices. This is a victory worth celebrating!
