Learning Community
We come together online as a Community of Practice every month, and you can join via video or phone. The typical agenda includes: relationship building, focusing on a learning topic, workshopping ideas and strategies, updates on local, state, and national level advocacy activity.

National Summits
We gather in person with the aims of deepening our connections with each other, learning from and about the work taking place in other parts of the country, and strengthening our efforts to advance the right to food across the United States.

Right to Food as Pathway to Economic Justice and Community Self-Determination
More than 150 people participated in the two-day event, including farmers, community leaders, advocates, academics, policy makers, food service workers, and local residents. The main goals were to amplify the systems and institutions that perpetuate food insecurity in high-poverty neighborhoods, alongside the solutions that are being implemented by community organizers and residents working directly with communities to break the cycle of children entering the school-to-prison pipeline.
