UNIVERSITY OF MIAMI SCHOOL OF LAW —  In December 2021, the city council of Morgantown, West Virginia unanimously agreed to adopt a municipal resolution that formally recognizes the human right to food. Miami Law’s Human Rights Clinic played a pivotal role in the drafting of the resolution. The adoption of this municipal resolution came just one month after Maine voted to enshrine the right to food in their state constitution, which also saw supportive efforts from the Human Rights Clinic’s Right to Food team. “It’s been a humbling experience for the Clinic to have contributed to our state partners’ successful legislative efforts to enshrine the right to food in law,” said HRC Acting Associate Director, Denisse Córdova Montes. “The Resolution’s focus on improving access to healthy and affordable food as a critical public health and human rights issue and its explicit mention of using CARES Act funds to provide food support to low- and moderate-income families in Morgantown is significant.” Human Rights Clinic student, Lauren Edwards, 2L, under the supervision of Córdova Montes, was the main author of the Morgantown Municipal Resolution. Edwards, in close consultation with Voices of Hunger West Virginia and West Virginia University Food Justice Lab, researched and studied various laws and policies surrounding the right to food within the United States and compiled these laws and policies into a legal memo, fact sheet, and interactive map to help in selecting appropriate language for the municipal resolution.
