If we are serious about ending hunger and building a just #FoodSystem, we must protect immigrants, end harmful enforcement practices, enact systemic change, create legal pathways for people to live and work without fear, and ensure access to safety, food, and opportunity for all.

Immigrants are central to any vision of a resilient, equitable food system. More importantly, they are our neighbors, friends, parents, and community members. Yet violent ICE enforcement tears families apart, spreads fear, and makes it harder for communities to access food.

ICE enforcement devastates communities and deepens hunger. It must end now. Read the full statement from WhyHunger Executive Director Jenique Jones here: whyhunger.org/whyhunger-call…
