Access is Everything: Check out our new Action Center!
Published on Dec 16, 2021
Access is everything.
For nearly thirty years, Nourish California has been advocating for equitable access to food. Each year, our advocacy helps nourish our fellow Californians by generating more than $2 billion in new nutrition resources. We have led many, many policy campaigns aimed at increasing access (like the one that finally guaranteed low-income students in charter schools equitable access to free and reduced-price school meals a few years back). And we’re just getting started.
Today, we are making advocacy itself more accessible with the launch of our new Action Center. Our Action Center provides easy-to-use tools that will help grassroots supporters, our partner community organizations, and other sector professionals communicate directly with policy makers, provide valuable input on our work, and see all the different ways they can get involved to support our mission.
Communities throughout the state are building their power. Our action center provides opportunities to demonstrate that power through collective action.
In combination with our new storytelling policy, this action center will also help amplify voices and support those interested in sharing lived experiences. Our policies and practices honor the rights and experiences of people who are willing to share their stories — including the rights to control the publication of the story and the right to compensation.
So please, show your support by taking action today.
Your input is valuable to us in this next chapter of our organization. Please share any feedback or thoughts.
