In the U.S. in 2021, 42M people experienced food insecurity, while an estimated 19M people had limited access to grocery stores. In Winston-Salem, we have 21 food apartheid regions — a term activists have pushed for as opposed to "food deserts" or "food swamps." "Food apartheid" highlights the discriminatory political structures past and present that impact food access and take ownership of the active role we as a society have played in creating these zones. You can help advocate for food justice by supporting local food banks like Second Harvest nwncfoodbank . . . #wearethevariable #winstonsalem #creativeagency #adagency #advertisingagency #lovewhereyouwork #agencylife #createchange #supportingyourcommunity #diversifyadvertising #supportyouremployees #mentalhealthmatters #equity #foodapartheid #foodjustice #environmentaljustice #foodsecurity #landjustice #equity #feedinghealth #feedingfutures #feedingopportunity #feedingchange #feedingcommunity
