The idea is to get alternative access to food into underserved communities. Recently one of our local weekly food distributions was impacted by Amazon’s decision to close its cashless store Amazon Fresh. Some of the groceries donated to our food distro came from Amazon Fresh. The organizers distributed a memo saying the availability of some foods would be affected by the closure. At this distro we service 150 food insecure people. 4/7

#BlackMastodon #BlackFedi #BlackTwitter #Abolition #Food The disruption highlights one of the dangers of the state relying on corporations to decide which community needs will be met. The corps are just trying to get those tax deductions. Philanthropic literature criticizing the perils of reliance on corporate prioritizing goes all the way back to Andrew Carnegie’s financing of libraries. City owned groceries could help avoid the reliance on “charity” to feed hungry people. 5/7
