Hunger is a Racial Equity Issue: Why That Matters, and What We Can Do About It
Join us for the second installment of our Conversations on Food Justice Series – a collaboration with Food & Society at the Aspen Institute and Share Our Strength. During this live, one-hour moderated session, Congresswoman Chellie Pingree, Dr. John B. King Jr., the president and CEO of the Education Trust, and former Congresswoman Donna Edwards will discuss social safety net programs like SNAP and WIC and examine the perceptions, policies, and practices that keep people hungry and poor. The conversation will also explore how communities, activists, and nonprofits can join forces to reimagine an economy that nourishes all people, developing real strategies for moving anti-hunger and anti-poverty work forward. Registration is free and open to the public.
