We invite participation from activists, scholars, organisers, food justice advocates, community cooks and care workers, food sovereignty activists, mutual aid organisers, artists, and anyone passionate about the intersection of food, care, and activism. Together, we will reflect on our own experiences of the central role of food in social movements and everyday forms of resistance.
