About this Talk

In 2021, Maine became the first state in America to pass an amendment to the state constitution guaranteeing people the right to food. This came to be through a many year effort by people of all political parties working together. We'll listen to the architects of this important movement talk about how it happened, and how we can grow the movement throughout America.
