About Us

Over one billion people live on less than $1.25 a day, and approximately half the people on the planet live on less than $2.25 a day. We believe that these statistics can change. We are a group of dedicated citizen volunteers that want to eliminate hunger and the worst aspects of poverty in the world. We identify steps towards this goal, become experts, and then educate our elected officials with phone calls, letters, and meetings to inform them of a specifc action they could take. We also inform the general public through writing letters to the editor. We hold monthly "Education & Action" meetings, where concerned people in the Seattle area spend two hours to come to write letters to their member of Congress or perhaps a newspaper editor and also train to become a powerful and informed speaker on hunger and poverty issues. 

Once a month, we gather at someone's house for a national conference call, where global RESULTS groups from across the country gather to hear via teleconference a speaker working on hunger and poverty issues, and get briefed from the RESULTS staff in Washington on what coordinated national action we could take that would be the most powerful in ending hunger and poverty.  The call reminds us that we are not alone - there are hundreds of people in scores of cities working in partnership with us.

The National Conference Call is usually held at 11:00am on the second Saturday of the month.  The location of the National Conference Call changes as different folks host the call.

In Seattle, the Education & Action meeting is usually held at 7:00pm on the Wednesday following the conference call (the Wednesday falling between the 12th and 18th of the month).  Meetings are held at Wallingford United Methodist Church (2115 N. 42nd Seattle, at 42nd and Bagley) because they generously make the space available to a secular (non-religious) organization like us.  In March and October, there is an optional potluck which begins at 6:15pm.
