FAM Political Action

In order for Food AND Medicine to further our mission of ultimately living in a community where no one is forced to choose between food, medicine and other basic necessities, it's critical that we have elected officials who support that mission. We need legislators who believe in strong unions and worker rights, improved public transportation, access to healthy food, healthcare as a right, racial equity and a strong social safety net.

While we recognize that no candidate or legislator will ever be perfect, we sent a questionnaire, met with and/or carefully reviewed available information about candidates in a number of races, and often endorse candidates who strongly support our values. Our capacity limits us to endorsing in only races where we feel that we can make a difference.
