Global problems have been amplified during the Covid-19 pandemic. Some are readily solvable, some will take time. Others have no immediate or foreseeable solution. There is one issue that can be solved right now: Hunger. A widespread disease that’s easily treatable, and totally curable.Embark speaks with Catherine Drennan Lynn, Senior Director of Communications and Public Affairs at the Greater Boston Food Bank, which works with Feeding America. Their mission is to end hunger through public policy and awareness. GBFB works with state and federal government, and 600 partners to find ways to safely reach and feed our most vulnerable.Catherine most recently led a successful state legislative campaign on school breakfast and built a statewide coalition to support this effort called Rise and Shine Massachusetts. The Breakfast After the Bell bill, which will expand access to school breakfast for more than 150,000 low-income students in Massachusetts. At the federal level, she is actively engaged in the national dialogue on the COVID-19 response, Child Nutrition Reauthorization, healthcare and tax reform and the recent 2018 Farm Bill. Her work advances the mission to end hunger in eastern Massachusetts and position GBFB as a national thought leader on hunger and poverty.We can all help end this epidemic. Donate your time, write a check, call your legislators. It will take all of us to end this widespread public health issue. Find resources on my most recent blog at lizsolar.com.

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day – especially for students. Beginning each school day with a belly full of a nutritious morning meal is linked to better performance overall. And yet, Massachusetts is ranked 33rd in the nation when it comes to school breakfast. But a bill passed and signed by Governor Charlie Baker this August seeks to change that, by requiring schools TO offer breakfast right after the bell rings.  We talked about the need for the bill last November, when it was first introduced. Guests: Erin McAleer – President of Project Bread, a Massachusetts-based anti-hunger not-for-profit. Andy Vargas – Massachusetts State Representative for the third Essex District and co-sponsor of the Breakfast After the Bell bill. Later in the show:  Under cover of darkness on June 2, 1863, two Union ships stole up the Combahee River in a mission that would liberate over 750 slaves from South Carolina plantations. What became known as the Combahee Ferry Raid, was the first major U.S. military operation led by a woman - Harriet Tubman. The same Harriet Tubman whose remarkable life as a spy, abolitionist, nurse, and cook included connections to Boston. Many know her name, but few know her story. Author and historian Elizabeth Cobbs connects the dots in her latest historical novel about one of Harriet Tubman's greatest achievements.  Guests: Dr. Elizabeth Cobbs, Melbern G. Glasscock Professor of History at Texas A&M University. She's the author of several historical fiction novels – the latest of which is the Tubman Command, a dramatized account of Harriet Tubman's activities around the Combahee Ferry Raid.  L'Merchie Frazier, director of education and interpretation at the Museum of African American History, Boston. Dr. Edda Fields-Black, associate professor of history at Carnegie Mellon University. Show Credits: That's it for this week's encore show.

Today on Boston Public Radio: The Greater Boston Food Bank’s Catherine D’Amato talked about the state’s new “Breakfast After the Bell” program, and other ways Mass. is addressing food insecurity during the coronavirus pandemic.  We opened our lines to talk with listeners about your feelings around school reopening and distance learning. Under the Radar host Callie Crossley discussed a handful of obituaries for victims of COVID-19 that place blame on the government’s pandemic response, and news that Trader Joe's is sticking with their ethnically insensitive branding.   We aired our October interview with Susan Rice, former U.S. Ambassador to the U.N., where she discussed her book “Tough Love,” and spoke on the presidential campaign of Joe Biden.  Former Mass. Education Secretary Paul Reville talked about the confusion around how Mass. K-12 schools are going to operate in the fall.  We opened lines to ask listeners: with COVID-19 cases beginning to climb, should we consider scaling back reopening in Mass.?  Travel guru Rick Steves talked about employing the “traveler’s mindset” while stuck at home, and the importance of positive serendipity as a traveler.

I arrived to find a copy of Bourbon for Breakfast, my 2010 book, at every place setting. I was momentarily mortified: this is surely not my best material.

Thomas Reynolds, CEO of Northwest Harvest directs the spotlight to the hunger issues that still face our community. Children in low income families now will get a healthy school breakfast as a result of state law Gov. Inslee signed recently--Breakfast After the Bell. Notes of thanks are great to send--email, or call the Legislative Hotline: 1-800-562-6000. A big challenge facing NW Harvest is finding a new space for the Cherry St Food bank, the largest one, and situated in the Central district.
