Mac Community Engagement Center

Housing, Work & Food Justice

There are nearly 20,000 people experiencing homelessness every single night in Minnesota. Low-wage workers are fighting for fair, safe, and equitable conditions, yet 1 in 8 Minnesotans are affected by hunger. Housing, Work & Food Justice is about addressing the areas of housing justice, work justice, and food justice in a way that is fair, equitable, and accessible to diverse community members.
