Come celebrate food workers and grassroots leaders who are building a better food system for all!

Please join us March 7 for the 2019 DC Food Justice Awards and Fundraiser, cohosted by Food Chain Workers Alliance and HEAL Food Alliance to celebrate food workers grassroots leaders making a better food system for all.

This year’s awardees are: Restaurant Opportunities Center of Washington DC (ROC-DC), Teamsters Union Local 63 and Teamsters Joint Council 42, DC Greens and Friends of the Earth. This is a great opportunity to strengthen connections between workers and food justice advocates in DC. Space is limited, so reserve your spot by purchasing a ticket today!

We’re also happy to announce DC Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton as the keynote speaker! A longtime civil rights and feminist leader, Congresswoman Norton has supported unions, fought for equal pay and DC statehood, and defended workers like those most affected by the recent government shutdown during her 15 terms as a representative.
