Church Women United, Inc A racially, culturally, theologically inclusive Christian women’s movement, celebrating unity in diversity and working for a world of peace and justice.

Since 1941, Women of the Church Women United movement have held a vision of Christian unity and prayerful action. CWU was founded as a racially, culturally, theologically, inclusive Christian women’s movement to celebrate unity and diversity and work for peace in the world. At its founding, the movement named the United Council of Church Women (UCCW). Women of faith from three interdenominational women’s groups representing 70 denominations convened in Atlantic City, New Jersey in December,1941 while bombs were being dropped in the world was at war. The United Council of Church women’s first action was to circulate a petition signed by 84,000 church women urging the United States at the signing of the United Nations Charter to join and take it full responsibility in a world organization. The action received wide publicity in the media and Eleanor Roosevelt later involved the UCCW in a conference at the white house on “how women may share in post war policy making”. Such action remains typical for CWU today, as its quest for information, prayerful action continues. Women of the movement affirm that prayer and action are inseparable and that both have immeasurable influence in the world.

Always shivering when others aren’t? Maybe, get your calories! Your body needs fuel to burn to keep your core body temperature up, especially when it’s cold outside. Shoot for at least one hot meal a day, and try to eat a variety of fruits, vegetables, and other unprocessed foods. https://wb.md/4AZffPk

Boycott Wendy's!

Join thousands of farmworkers, students, people of faith, and consumers of conscience in refusing to buy from Wendy’s until it joins the
For over a decade, Wendy’s has ignored the demands of thousands of farmworkers with the Coalition of Immokalee Workers and their consumer allies for verifiable protections against sexual violence, forced labor, and other human rights abuses in its supply chain. While many of the largest fast-food companies and major food retailers — from McDonald’s to Walmart — have joined the Fair Food Program, Wendy’s remains the last major fast-food holdout.

Since its implementation, the Fair Food Program (FFP) has eliminated modern-day slavery and sexual violence, improved farmworker wages for the first time in decades, and guaranteed basic protections for workers.

Every girl and every woman has the right to be safe.

We cannot accept a world where violence is a risk they are expected to navigate.

It's time to prevent violence, hold perpetrators accountable and put an end to violence against women and girls.

Hunger policy didn't happen by accident. It was built, decade by decade, by people who refused to accept hunger as inevitable.

🔹 1950s — Leonor K. Sullivan championed legislation that laid the groundwork for a permanent food stamp program.

🔹 1960 — George McGovern helped lay the foundation for what would become the World Food Programme (WFP).

🔹 2002 — Two senators from opposite parties came together to launch the McGovern-Dole Food for Education Program — proof that ending hunger has never had to be partisan.

🔹 2016 — Congress passed the bipartisan Global Food Security Act, cementing global hunger as a lasting U.S. priority.

🔹 2026 — What comes next is up to us.
