The multisolving potential of public grocery stores is enormous. From food security and affordability to climate mitigation and resilience this could be transformational --and people support it!
Municipal grocery stores can bring down bills for working class households while supporting high quality, stable, affordable food supply chains in a warming world.
Our new work with @dataforprogress.org shows that people want public options.
