Last week's election marked a sea change in our nation's leadership. In the midst of these changes, California Food Policy Advocates reaffirm our commitment to ending hunger, improving health, and mitigating poverty. We
advocate the right to nutritious, affordable food for all Californians. We work with our allies to address the root causes of hunger.
The fight against hunger is a fight for justice and equity. This is a fight for our fellow Californians, who have the right to live safe, healthy, productive lives. This is a fight to ensure that our government
acts on behalf of the people in our communities who struggle with economic insecurity and
hunger.
For over 20 years - through periods of acutely partisan politics and tremendous fiscal crises - CFPA has successfully advanced policy change to improve the lives of Californians. We firmly believe that advancing social justice fosters positive change for all. We do not
accept a status quo that perpetuates poverty.
We will protect hard-won progress and pave the way for policies that work.
California can lead the way for our nation.
Hunger, poverty, and poor health are not inevitable. We must be big and bold in this fight. We must address the many factors that affect food security, with both short- and long-term solutions that make lasting improvements in people's lives. Now, more than ever, we must work to create a California where no one goes hungry. Ending hunger is something we must - and can - do together.
Advocacy is for all of us, and it will take each of us working together to create the change we want to see. With renewed conviction, we will continue to fight alongside you and for you.
