by Marian Wright Edelman

Ending hunger and making our economy work for everyone are two of the most important challenges facing our country today. In her new book, "Speaking Up to End Hunger and Make Our Economy Work for Everyone," Marian Wright Edelman makes a powerful case for why we must take action to address these issues.

Drawing on her decades of experience as a civil rights activist and advocate for children, Edelman argues that we have a moral obligation to ensure that everyone in our country has enough to eat and that everyone has the opportunity to succeed. She offers a detailed plan for how we can achieve these goals, including expanding access to nutrition programs, increasing the minimum wage, and investing in education and job training.
