RAFI-USA Policy Action Network Registration

We believe that our policy work should be grounded in accountable relationships with those stakeholders who are affected by our advocacy. Anyone can join our Action Network to receive food system policy updates, action alerts, social media activism guides, and training opportunities. If you are a farmer, farmworker or food system worker, or other food supply chain stakeholder, you can also register as an Action Network Stakeholder, tell us which food policy issues you care about, and then you will receive special opportunities to provide us with policy feedback and, if you desire, other opportunities to use your voice to effect change.
