Alliance to End Hunger Logo

Alliance to End Hunger seeks to expand federal government intervention in food output, including food stamps as an option at restaurants. Goals are centered on "racial equity".[1]

White House Conference on Hunger

The Biden White House agreed to host a conference after a letter coordinated by the Alliance to End Hunger was signed by multiple advocacy organizations on March 14, 2022.[2]

The letter was signed by the following organizations:

State/Local Organizations/Businesses

Limiting Food Stamps to Healthy Foods is Racist

A report from the Alliance to End Hunger[3] was generated July 15 2022 for the White House "to inform the Conference on Hunger, Nutrition and Health in September 2022".[4] In bold in the report: "Expand and strengthen the federal nutrition programs to increase access and affordability of food." Part of that expansion is to stop encouraging healthier choices under taxpayer funded programs like food stamps, as that is "racist":

Excerpt:

"Expand choices under SNAP. “There shouldn't be any food policing.”

  • Limited choices hurt those with dietary restrictions
  • Incentives are unnecessary and actually insulting
  • Have never thought “if someone could just control my diet.”
  • Paternalistic, culturally insensitive, and racist to tell people what they can and cannot consume. Should have more dignified approach. 24
  • Food insecurity is not about being able to make healthy decisions or lacking awareness of which foods are good or bad for you - it’s about knowing where your next meal is coming from. “Trust SNAP recipients to make health-conscious decisions.”

In order to end hunger by 2030 (aligning with the United Nations 2030 goals), the Alliance to End Hunger recommends in part that policies such as raising the minimum wage, encourage formation of labor unions, make sure convicted criminals can get jobs and make childcare "more affordable".

Excerpt:

"Alliance to End Hunger suggests the additional following strategies are considered in the White House’s roadmap to end hunger by 2030:

  • Raise the minimum wage so that individuals working fulltime do not have to rely on public benefits to afford basic essentials like housing, food, and transportation;
  • Enact and enforce needed worker protections to ensure good health and safety;
  • Provide benefits and protections for contract or “gig” economy workers;
  • Support policies that make it easier for workers to form labor unions;
  • Promote and enforce fair hiring practices to address racial, gender and sexual orientation discrimination, and to allow individuals with previous arrests or convictions a chance at gainful employment; and
  • Enact policies to make childcare more affordable for low- and middle-income families.

Partners

"Convening partners" are listed as DoorDash, End Child Hunger in Alabama, FoodFinder, Healthy Living Coalition, Instacart, Islamic Relief USA, March of Dimes, Nuro, RESULTS, Souper Bowl of Caring and WHEAT.
