"Food is a basic need, and in America, we have too many people going hungry, lacking proper nutrition, or living in food deserts without access to fresh, healthy food. We need legislation that specifies food as a right and protects people's access to it. That is why I want to join WFP USA--to use my understanding of government structure and functions to advocate for enshrining access to quality food for all."

"Studies show that access to healthy food and better nutrition results in stronger mental and physical health and greater community wealth. In a country that has more than enough food to feed everyone, I believe we need to be better stewards of the resources we have to ensure everyone has a chance to live out their full potential."
