POOCH believes access to healthy food is a human right. In Kansas, 375,360 (13%) of people do not know where their next meal is coming from on a given day. This includes nearly 1/5 children in our state.
This is not because "America's Breadbasket" does not have enough to go around. It is a political condition created by structures put in place to oppress the poor, particularly those already most marginalized by cis-hetero white supremacy and ableism.
POOCH membership supports the work of Lawrence Food Not Bombs. Additionally, we intend to join the efforts of statewide organizations dedicated to eradicating this false scarcity through the dismantling of systemic barriers to food access.
