Hunger is NOT a Game


  As you are standing in line waiting to see "The Hunger Games" tomorrow night, make sure you tweet #notagame in support of the Harry Potter Alliance's Imagine Better project: Hunger is NOT a Game. And also make sure you sign up for Oxfam's GROW campaign. The goal is to get 1,000 people to sign the pledge. I KNOW we can collect that many!

You can use this downloadable pledge form to collect signatures: https://docs.google.com/open?id=0BzjIfddEa5q_NzZueW5IQjJSNmkwVFpJNm5CRUlzZw

Classroom Connections
This is a video from Oxfam about their GROW Campaign that helps illustrate some of the campaign's key points: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IEncHWEjLTI
-Show your students the video.
-Encourage them to get involved!
-Have your students donate food to a local food pantry or homeless shelter.
-Have them spread the word on their own social networking sites like Facebook, Tumblr, Twitter, and MySpace
-Collect signatures while waiting in line for the movie.

TOGETHER we can make a difference! We are not Panem. We have enough food for everyone. Let's work together to help one another!
