Dear Friend,

I hope to see you at the Harlem Eat Up festival (http://harlemeatup.com/)  this weekend.  The festival has become the forum to highlight the hot Harlem food scene - and it's also a great chance to remind everyone how important affordable, quality food is to the health of our community!

Our celebrity chefs get this connection.  Earlier this week, Red Rooster's Marcus Samuelsson spent some time with students in East Harlem (https://www.dnainfo.com/new-york/20160516/east-harlem/marcus-samuelsson-gives-harlem-students-healthy-eating-lesson )  -- and just a few weeks ago, I was happy to host former White House Chef, Sam Kass for a discussion with kids in Washington Heights  (http://forward.com/food/335884/former-white-house-chef-helping-washington-heights-eat-healthfully/])

But let's be clear.  Thousands of our neighbors still struggle to access quality, healthy foods - and many go to bed hungry because of cuts in food assistance.  Our elected officials have ignored this problem, like so many others.  Earlier this year, we submitted a petition with 600 signatures from our neighbors, asking elected officials to develop a better plan to address our shortage of affordable grocery options. Not surprisingly - the reaction: silence.

We deserve better.  Check out my comprehensive plan for an NY-13 Food & Nutrition Zone, (https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Byb_XJgyvyCsY1RpbFI2Y0NmbVk/view?usp=sharing) based on my past work on food stamps and WIC at the Department of Agriculture (http://clydewilliams2016.com/meet-clyde/bio/) , which can help incentivize investments in affordable, healthy food - and build stronger bonds across the community.

See you this weekend!

Clyde
