Food Justice NW Aurora
Aurora, CO
About FJNWA
Founded in 2022 by a collective of community residents, gardeners, nonprofit representatives, and advocates, Food Justice NW Aurora was born out of a desire to address urgent gaps in access to nutritious, affordable, and culturally relevant food in NW Aurora.
Food Justice NW Aurora is building a multicultural, intergenerational, and intersectional movement for food justice and food sovereignty to transform our local food system in NW Aurora, CO.
We strive to create a just, sustainable, and complete food environment by mobilizing people, organizations, and businesses; building community wealth; facilitating and nurturing strategic partnerships; and advocating for policy and systems changes.
