The 23rd Class of Emerson National Hunger Fellows assembled for the first time in Washington, D.C. last week to take part in a two-week training to prepare them for placement with their field sites. The training, encompassing topics of hunger and food insecurity (including sessions on Federal Nutrition Programs); racial equity; food justice; U.S. anti-poverty programs; privilege, power and oppression; and disability justice, is designed to prepare them for their six-month partnerships with community-based organizations across the country.
