the Department of Agriculture aligned with the govern-
mentwide Global Food Security Strategy; 
Whereas in fiscal year 2021 alone, McGovern-Dole Program

ture; 
Whereas during the COVID–19 pandemic when school clo-
sures were commonplace, the McGovern-Dole Program

and 550 MT of locally procured commodities to more 
than 1,700,000 McGovern-Dole Program participants 
and their families across 26 active projects, ensuring that

Whereas during the Presidential debate on September 30, 
2020, when asked by moderator Chris Wallace to con-

Whereas during the insurrection at the United States Capitol 
on January 6, 2021, members of the Proud Boys organi-

overturn the results of a legitimate, democratic Presi-

Whereas photographic and video evidence indicate that mem-

Whereas damaging or erasing ecosystems can therefore have 
a profound impact on wildlife and human health and

Whereas inequitable policies have led to a targeted denuding

1.5° Celsius, resulting in severe impacts to ecosystems
