JOIN OUR NETWORK

Let’s work together to alleviate hunger now while building more responsive, equitable, and sustainable food systems for the future!

We convene partners, support local solutions, strengthen resources, and champion bold policy change to generate momentum for those who lead our movement – the people who grow, produce, distribute, sell, and eat food. All of our work directly aligns with our vision, mission, and core values, as well as our four commitments.

Anyone can join our network of collaborators and efforts to achieve food justice and food sovereignty for all in Colorado.

HOW TO GET INVOLVED & STAY INFORMED

Here are a few ways to engage with the Blueprint:

  • Start by completing our new member form. It should only take 5- 15 minutes. This helps us find out your areas of interest, make connections, update our network member map, and ensure we’re being equitable in our work.

  • Join one of our committees or projects.

    • Those committees include community voice, communications & accessibility, data & evaluation, and state & federal policy. Contact the staff liaison to express interest and schedule an orientation.

    • There are not any active projects at this time.

  • Sign up for our newsletter and email updates, as well as follow us on social media.

WHAT TO EXPECT

With equity as one of our core values, here’s what you can expect as a member of the Blueprint network:

  • We host all Blueprint meetings and activities in both English and Spanish and also offer closed captioning. (If you have any other accomodation needs to fully participate in our meetings, please contact us.)

  • We offer compensation to anyone who voluntarily participates and is not representing an organization as a paid employee.

  • We read an abbreviated version of our equity statement at the beginning of each meeting. It serves as a reflection of the Blueprint’s own commitment to equity, diversity, inclusion, and belonging, guided by our organization’s internal values and principles.

  • We have established norms and expectations for all meetings to support our pledge to equitable practices.

We look forward to having you involved in our collaborative efforts!
