Food Empowerment Project seeks to encourage people to look at their food choices as a force for social change. Looking at those in our society who are often invisible in our food industry, we join our voices with the farm workers who pick our produce to ensure they are being treated with respect and dignity and earn living wages, we work on the lack of access to healthy foods in communities of color and low-incomes communities so that healthy food will be a right and not a privilege, we advocate for people who have access to healthy foods to go vegan to lessen the suffering of non-human animals, and we encourage people not to buy chocolate from areas where the worst form of child labor are taking place, including slavery.I had also attended the U.S. Social Forum (USSF) in Atlanta and loved learning from others in the U.S. about struggles here, many of which I had never heard about. There was even one from my hometown in Texas.
