Priority I: End Hunger by addressing its root causes and systemic inequities
Support policies that end hunger by addressing root causes and systemic inequities that disproportionately impact low- to moderate-income New Yorkers, BIPOC, immigrant, LGBTQIA2S+, seniors, and families with children.
All New Yorkers must be able to feed their families and afford other essential living expenses, like rent, transit fare, childcare, etc.
This means that when we are advocating for anti-hunger legislation, we must uplift policies that address the intersectionality of hunger through comprehensive anti-hunger legislation that speaks to:
- Affordable housing
- Universal childcare
- Transportation
- Medical expenses
- Barriers to adequate income/fair wages
