Dear Friend,

As the holidays approach, food is on all of our minds.   And it has been the focus of our campaign this week.

Today, as we gather to say thanks with family and friends, there are thousands of people in our community who struggle daily to get access to quality and affordable food.

More than 1.4 million New Yorkers are food insecure, (http://nyccah.org/learn-about-hunger/hunger-new-york-city) and here in the 13th district,USDA has identified neighborhoods (http://www.ers.usda.gov/media/242675/ap036_1_.pdf) like Harlem, Washington Heights, and the South Bronx as food deserts.  (http://www.consiliencejournal.org/index.php/consilience/article/viewFile/120/33)

With grocery stores closing across the district, we organized an online petition (https://act.myngp.com/Forms/463009413391779840) and engaged over 700 residents to make sure our elected leaders are thinking about the issue of hunger and food insecurity.

In Congress, I will do everything I can to make sure families in this district can afford to put food on their tables.  It is a travesty that more than half of hungry people in New York City are working people (http://nyccah.org/files/Final%20NYCCAH%20Report%202015%20small_0.pdf) .  We can and must change that.

I hope you have a restful and enjoyable Thanksgiving holiday, and wish you the best from Mona, Sydney, Davis and our entire family here in Harlem.

Clyde
