Webinar: Food Policy Council Voter & Candidate Engagement StrategiesMonday, May 18, 2026 · 4:00 - 5:00pm ET Register HERE.

We know folks are holding a lot right now--the recent Louisiana v. Callais ruling, ongoing action on the Farm Bill, and the continuing challenges facing our sector. With so much converging, we want to lift up space for councils to plan and activate around voter engagement heading into the fall.

You'll hear from three councils:

• Alaska

• Broome County, NY

• Jefferson County, CO

…on their experiences with candidate forums, voter registration, and broader candidate/voter engagement strategies--what's worked, what they've learned, and what they're planning next.

This webinar is for you if you are:

• A council, coalition, or alliance already doing voter registration, get-out-the-vote, or candidate forum work

• Curious about getting started heading into the fall and want to hear how peers have approached it

• Looking for a space to connect with others navigating this moment together

We'll also use part of our time to gauge interest and readiness across the network so we can support councils who want to take on this work in the coming months.

Accessibility: Spanish interpretation will be available. For additional interpretation or accessibility needs, please contact foodpolicynetworks.us@gmail.com.

Looking forward to being together with each of you,
The Food Policy Networks Team
