Please join the Grocery Workers' Union Local 1500 as we present, "UFCW Local 1500's Building Blocks Project" and our "Statement of Food Policy Principles—Seeking Greater Access to Quality, Affordable Food."

Since our Food Policy Principles were developed with the intent of starting a conversation, we would like to invite you and/or your organization to attend this important meeting. We welcome you to submit recommendations, present related research or simply come and listen.

The goal of the conference is to understand New York City's food system, to discuss the barriers to food access and discuss next steps as we seek solutions to this complex crisis.

To register for the conference, email mkinberg@UFCW1500.org
If you have questions about the conference or principles please contact:
Mo Kinberg, UFCW Local 1500 Food Policy Coordinator,
1-800-522-0456 Ext. 274 mkinberg@UFCW1500.org

Thank you in advance for your commitment to working with us and turning these Principles into smart policy and practice.
