Building the Political Will to End Hunger in Washington

Advocacy is an important tool for holding our elected officials accountable so that everyone in Washington has equitable access to nutritious food. It takes the voices of many to demand food justice. It takes all of us to protect our collective right to nutritious food.

Northwest Harvest believes that ending hunger means eradicating its root cause—poverty. To this end, we advocate for public policies that 1) promote access to nutritious food, 2) help those who struggle to meet their basic needs, and 3) support budgets that fund our basic safety net with sustainable revenue.
