The Alianza para la Seguridad Alimentaria de BCS (ASA) is positioned to be hub for united action, creative, long-term solutions, research and support for “cultivating health food systems.”

This is About Humanity: Update of COVID-19 Efforts
Over the course of the past two years, through a series of dinners, conversations, and campaigns, This is About Humanity (TIAH) has raised close to $1 million for vulnerable communities at the border. When COVID-19 hit, TIAH rapidly pivoted to continue supporting communities disproportionately impacted by the pandemic. Restricted movement of people across the border, and even more limited opportunities to request asylum required innovative formats for continued engagement and support. As a result, TIAH structured a series of creative cross border matching grant campaigns during the pandemic to provide support to these vulnerable communities.
