Resistance Kitchen is a space for people who are organizing for equity, hope, and transformation in Washington Heights and the South Bronx, communities affected by food apartheid, to nourish themselves. Who is taking care of our Black and Brown community organizers? Who is feeding the movement? Resistance Kitchen is made of up of chefs of color who see cooking as a loving practice, food as medicine and also a place of trauma, and the kitchen as a practice ground to heal and connect with our body and each other.

What is the relationship between food and gentrification?How does gentrification impact our relationship with and access to food in our communities? How do rising property values, policy, and people in power alter our foodscapes? What is our work in the face of these changes?Join us for a conversation with urban farmer and food justice activist, Karen Washington, community organizer with Take Back the Bronx, Sidney Negron, founder of Green Worker Cooperatives, Omar Freilla, and co-founder of Woke Foods, Ysanet Batista.
