      Amir,

Greetings from Washington, D.C.!

We are just *one day away from the Food Tank Summit* in partnership with
The George Washington University on January 21-22!

The event is completely sold out with 75+ incredible speakers. *You can
view the complete agenda by clicking HERE
<http://act.foodtank.com/r?u=http%3A%2F%2Ffoodtank.com%2Fnews%2F2015%2F01%2Ftune-in-to-the-food-tank-summit-livestream-january-21-22-9am-5pm-est&utm_campaign=jan20b&n=2&e=a1a3d6c74f87ca770d294db3bfee2f647600e12f&utm_source=foodtank&utm_medium=email>*.
We invite you to *watch the event on FoodTank.com* via livestream which has
been graciously donated by the Barilla Center for Food & Nutrition
Foundation (BCFN).

Recently, Food Tank asked many of the summit speakers to answer the
question:

*“In 140 characters or less - what is the most important thing we can all
do to help change the food system?” *Read some of their answers below and *we
encourage you to submit your own responses on Twitter, Instagram, Google+,
and/or Facebook using #FoodTank*. We will share several of the most
creative and compelling answers throughout our entire network.

Also please feel free to share our speaker responses:
