Congress will act on the expiration of the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts before the end of the year—possibly during their July work period. Stay tuned!
Advocates who could not be present during Bread’s Lobby Day called their senators’ and representatives’ offices, delivering the same message. About 654 calls were placed through Bread’s special toll-free number alone. Thank you to all who lobbied in Washington and by phone!

Jesus said: ‘You give them something to eat.’ Bread for the World’s Offering of Letters is a part of my service to God and the church. It is a way to multiply loaves and fish here and now.

— Rev. Juan Luis Calderón, Parochial Vicar, Saint Joseph of the Palisades Parish, West New York, NJ
