Make Your Voice Heard: Support the Ward 8 Farmers Market!

Ward 8 has been a food desert for decades, leaving residents with limited access to fresh, healthy, and affordable food. Unfortunately, this is still true in 2025. The Farmers Market Support Amendment Act of 2025 (Bill 26-0109) is a critical step toward addressing food insecurity and creating real food equity in our city. This bill will provide much-needed support to farmers markets in low-food-access areas, like Ward 8, by streamlining permits, providing grants, and ensuring affordability for vendors and shoppers alike.

We need to show Mayor Muriel Bowser and the DC Council that this issue matters to us. Send this letter today to demand their support for Bill 26-0109. Together, we can make fresh, healthy food accessible to all DC residents!

Sign and send this letter now to stand up for food justice in Ward 8.
