We believe Kansans, working together, can build a state full of thriving, inclusive, and just communities. We're working for a future where:- All Kansans have the resources they need to support themselves and raise healthy families.- All Kansans can participate fully in the community under equal protection of the law.- All Kansans benefit from a fair and effective judicial system.Kansas Appleseed works with community partners to understand the root causes of problems, support strong grassroots coalitions, and advocate for comprehensive solutions so all Kansans can reach their full potential. In other words: Justice for all.
Kansas Appleseed reduced hunger in the state by helping to increase participation and access to child nutrition programs, advocating for protecting and expanding SNAP, and engaging more Kansans in grassroots efforts to fight hunger. Through the work of Kansas Appleseed and partners, Kansas served 1.46 million summer meals in 2019. Kansas Appleseed hosted community forums, webinars, advocacy skill-guiling trainings, and other events.
Kansas Appleseed continued advocating for kids and families affected by the state foster care system, working with the Strengthen Families Rebuild Hope coalition and with legislators interested in adding much needed oversight to the failing system. The federal class-action lawsuit filed in November 2018 on behalf of youth in foster care, continued throughout 2019, seeking relief from extreme placement instability and adequate access to mental health resources.
The juvenile justice reforms Kansas Appleseed championed have now resulted in a reduction of over 80% the number of youth in the state's juvenile justice system. Kansas Appleseed continues to work with formerly incarcerated youth, state agencies, and partner organizations to ensure community-based alternatives to incarceration are implemented.
