Advocacy
At NGA, we take action to ensure independent grocers thrive in a fair and competitive environment. Through our advocacy efforts, we address critical issues and work tirelessly to level the playing field for independents.
Action Center
Make your voice heard. Use NGA’s Take Action Center to contact lawmakers, track legislation, and support policies that protect independent grocers and their customers.
Make a Difference
Your support fuels our advocacy. Contributions to the NGA Advocacy and Legal Fund help us expand our reach, defend our members, and fight for a level playing field in Washington and beyond.
Store Tours
Bring lawmakers into your world. NGA’s store tour program connects elected officials with local grocers to see firsthand how policies impact communities, jobs, and access to food.
Antitrust Laws
We’re leading the fight to restore fairness in the grocery marketplace. NGA advocates for stronger enforcement of antitrust laws to prevent dominant players from squeezing out competition and to ensure independents can compete on equal terms.
Food & Nutrition
NGA champions policies that expand food access, promote healthy choices, and support grocers serving all communities. From SNAP to WIC modernization, we advocate for programs that empower both retailers and families.
Business Issues
Independent grocers face unique challenges in workforce development, labor, and business operations. NGA advances policies that strengthen small business success — supporting entrepreneurship, job creation, and local economies.
