Hunger Action Day 2025 Recap: Showing Up, Speaking Out. ??? ? Hunger advocates from across the state came together to advocate for the programs that keep our communities fed. ????? They shared their personal stories, raised awareness, and urged legislators to protect vital social programs. From powerful speeches ?? to meaningful conversations with lawmakers ???, the message was clear: everyone should have the food they need to thrive. ? As Aaron Czyzewski reminded us—telling your story and standing up for your community is what being an advocate is all about. ?? Every voice matters, and every conversation brings us one step closer to a future where food security is a right, not a privilege. ? Let’s keep showing up. Let’s keep championing food security. ???? #HungerActionDay #AdvocacyMatters #FoodForAll #foodlifeline

The Policy and Advocacy team had an incredible time at Revenue Day of Action! ?? They engaged with lawmakers about the need to fix our broken tax code, relieving the burden on working families and ensuring the wealthy few pay what they owe. We cannot afford budget cuts to human service programs that push working families deeper into poverty, all while the wealthy continue to grow their wealth. Food Lifeline supports progressive revenue and stands with 64% of Washington voters for advancing a tax code that creates the racial and economic justice necessary to end hunger. This is the time to be BOLD. Take action here: https://lnkd.in/g-_PEDaT
