From "Hunger is not a Game":

In the world of the Hunger Games series, everything is controlled by the Capitol, which uses power and money to punish the districts. The citizens of the Capitol live in luxury at the expense of the districts, forcing others to live in poverty so that they can enjoy their own wealth. Katniss, Gale and the citizens of District 12 are forced to break the law to keep from starving, to maintain an informal and illegal market so that they can eat.

Sound familiar? It should. Our world rests on an imbalanced system. In every country there are people who are starving because of corrupt politicians, injust laws and violent conflict. The most basic needs of millions of people are going unmet. And we can do something about it. The Harry Potter Alliance’s Imagine Better Project is fighting hunger in our newest campaign: Hunger Is Not A Game. In honor of Suzanne Collins’ masterful series, we’ll be fighting the injustice of the Capitol and hunger in our own districts. If we want to shut down the Hunger Games once and for all, we need to stop the Capitol from treating hunger like a game by attacking the systematic injustices used to keep the rich richer and the poor hungrier.
