Our mission

Equity Advocates builds the capacity of nonprofit organizations to address the underlying causes of food inequity through policy and systems change. We partner with New York-based organizations working to alleviate hunger and poverty, providing them with the tools they need to be more civically engaged—including policy education, advocacy training and coalition-building services. Through this work, we are building a nonpartisan grassroots coalition of powerful advocates and leaders within the food movement.

Our Work

Building a community of advocates for food equity

Guidance and Strategy

In a constantly changing political landscape, we keep our partner organizations informed with sophisticated political analysis and funding opportunities, ongoing advocacy training, long-term strategic thinking, and frequent calls to action to advance their missions.

Relationship Building

We work at a grassroots level to help our partner organizations have a consistent and amplified voice in government. To do so, partners will get instant access to a vibrant coalition of like-minded organizations. We also help our partners foster and maintain relationships with elected officials, keeping them connected and informed of the issues that matter most to their community.
