Response to Federal Action: Resources

Recent federal actions continue to cause immense distress and hardship for many in our communities. At the Colorado Blueprint to End Hunger, we stand firm in our belief that all humans deserve dignified, equitable access to nourishing, culturally relevant foods, regardless of background or immigration status.

These inhumane federal policies are designed to instill fear, panic, and overwhelm. We refuse to stand by while people are being forced to choose between nourishment and security. The Blueprint will speak out, take action, and stand with our communities in ensuring food for all.

Here are resources for organizations, individuals, and families looking to protect themselves and their communities:
