Community Food Advocates

CFA Vision: Access to quality food is an essential human right. Lack of access in an income equity issue compunded by systematic racial and gender-based barriers.We believe the government has a fundamental responsibility and an unmatched capacity to end poverty and its consequence:hunger. To that end, we advocate for high-impact public policy change that ensures all New Yorkers have access to healthy, affordable, plentiful and culturally appropriate foods.CFA Approach:We strive for high-impact policy change and strong implementation that dismantle income inequities and racial gender-based barriers;We guided by solid policy and budget analysis;We build creative and strategic coalitions;We believe in the strenght of collective power, experiences, and knowledge; andWe are fueled by the full partnership and meaningful engagement of people most directly affected.
