This month, we’re celebrating Pride by learning about and honoring LGBTQIA culture and history. As an organization that is committed to racial equity and economic inclusion, we must acknowledge the intersectional approach needed to truly address the stark racial and queer disparities found in Alameda County.
Read more about how hunger is a queer issue – every month of the year.

In Case You Missed It:
Our 2021 Policy Agenda
|
| A hunger-free community requires reimagining and rebuilding the systems and structures at the root of hunger.
Building new systems is an enormous task, but ACCFB has a plan rooted in justice, equity, inclusion, and community power. We are proud to present our 2021 Policy Agenda – our boldest and most far-reaching yet.
Join us, as we eradicate hunger at its roots by attacking the systems that perpetuate it.
