Community of Practice

The National Right to Food Community of Practice weaves together and strengthens state and local efforts to advance the right to food in law, policy, and practice across the United States.

We bring human rights frameworks into local use through shared strategy and coordinated advocacy at home, while strengthening U.S. participation in global processes.

Election Conversation Guides - a Right to Food lens

Talking to local and state candidates about how they will use their role in office to promote a food system that nourishes people and the planet.

Elections are important opportunities for organizers and advocates to engage directly with candidates seeking elected office. Local and state elections offer spaces to ask questions about the issues, challenges, and barriers that people are facing in local communities, and to place community priorities within the context of a right to food.

These guides are developed in partnership with members and partners of the National Right to Food Community of Practice and are based on a shared understanding that food is a human right. They locate issues that matter to community and local advocates within a right to food framework.
