Yoko Ono and 50 Cent have teamed up to fight hunger asking us to Imagine There's No Hunger. Yoko Ono explains "By imagining there’s no hunger, like what John sang in his song, we express our strong desire to bring a world in which children will never again suffer from hunger or poverty." Through a campaign being run with Hard Rock Cafe, the Hungerthon is hoping to raise money for WHY Hunger, which will help benefit people across the world from China to Haiti, Lesotho to Nicaragua. 50 Cent is doing his part by wearing the bracelet the reads "Imagine There's No Hunger."

WHY was founded to attack the root causes of hunger. We often forget in this fight for a complete and international sustainable food system that we must engender social change, not just grow crops better, and solely advocate sustainable farming methods — we must share expertise, educate, and create efficient and fair markets. WHY work to create self-reliance and provide economic justice. WHY also works to help America's poor and hungry, reminding us that we needn't look as far as Uganda to find people effected by food insecurity.
