I represent The Borgen Project, a nonprofit organization dedicated to fighting global poverty. We work to raise awareness and encourage people to email and call their members of Congress in support of the International Affairs Budget and poverty-reducing legislation. This event aims to inform the community about the realities of extreme poverty — where millions of people live on less than $1.25 a day — and how we can help. As part of the event, I will be offering hand crafted paper flowers to donors. “If you’re going to San Francisco, be sure to wear some flowers in your hair.” Join us to learn more, take action, and support efforts to make global change.
