The Ann Arbor News ran an interview today, Sunday, August 26, about the Challenge.

If you’re coming here after reading the interview, make sure you sign up for the challenge.

I’m grateful that the News helped explain why this is an issue for the Interfaith Council for Peace and Justice. Not only is there talk of cutting food stamp funding, but the funding cuts would be to help cover the cost of the war in Iraq.

That’s not peace and it’s not justice.

The ICPJ Michigan Food Stamp Challenge is a way for people of faith and people of conscious we have to open our eyes and open our hearts to the reality of poverty in America, and then to open our mouths to call for justice.
