How to Talk About ACCFB
When talking about ACCFB, please recognize (or connect with us to develop) our desired messaging, which:
- Recognizes all clients as individuals with aspirations who make vital contributions to our community.
- Acknowledges that we cannot end hunger without addressing systemic racism.
- Shows our sincere gratitude to donors for the impact of their support.
People First Language
The way we talk about community members who participate in our programs is very important. We always make sure to consider the dignity, respect, and recognition of each individual. Please be mindful of using “people first” terminology, which separates a person’s identity from a situation, circumstance, or disability they may be facing or possess. The simplest way to thinking about this concept is to always put the person’s name or identifier (child, senior, person) before the situation or disability.
