We may be as divided as ever, but we can agree that no one deserves to be hungry. And there's no better time than the holidays for us to commit to working together to end the food-insecurity epidemic.
Many intelligent, well-meaning people have succumbed to the idea that "you're either with us or against us." It has become possible to forget how much we have in common. But no ideology has a monopoly on values. This year, when our politics have served to divide us intensely, we must find a way to unite with a common purpose: to care for one another.
In October 2018, I had the great privilege to join a network of hundreds of food banks and tens of thousands of food pantries and meal programs as the CEO of Feeding America.

But when he strides back into the Oval Office in January 2025, Trump will also become responsible for U.S. management of two dangerous wars, the kinds of hot foreign policy crises he was fortunate to avoid during his first term.

The digital labor revolution
OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS, WE'VE WITNESSED advances in AI that have captured our imaginations with unprecedented capabilities in language and ingenuity. And yet, as impressive as these developments have been, they're only the opening act. We are now entering a new era of autonomous AI agents that take action on their own and augment the work of humans. This isn't just an evolution of technology. It's a revolution that will fundamentally redefine how humans work, live, and connect with one another from this point forward.
Tech we can trust
Serving humanity's best interests must be at the center of progress
