About this organization

About
Access to Healthy Foods: SAFEWAY CAMPAIGN: Our campaign against Safeway is intended to reverse the company's outrageous policy of putting restricted deeds on their former properties. The deeds block other grocery stores from opening, which limits access to fresh and healthy foods in communities of color and low-income communities. Our Safeway petition has garnered more than 30,000 signatures and t volunteers mobilized protests in Los Angeles, Vallejo, San José, Rohnert Park, San Francisco, Seattle, Baltimore, and Washington, DC. VALLEJO OUTREACH: F.E.P. recently met with Vallejo Mayor Bob Sampayan to discuss how to better provide access to healthy foods in his vibrant and diverse city. To support this effort, we completed six focus groups where we met with local residents, ate delicious vegan food, and talked about their needs for fresh and healthy foods. We are now translating and analyzing the data, which may be used to influence public health policy. Currently, the Solano County Health Department is using our Vallejo report on access to healthy foods for their Healthy Stores for a Healthy Community initiative. We also coordinated a meeting with two members of the Mandela Foods Cooperative, Vallejo's People's Garden, our community organizer, and Mayor Sampayan about bringing worker-owned cooperatives to the community.
