Leading into the 2023 James Beard Awards weekend, Justice for Migrant Women is hosting a Reception with heavy hors d'oeuvres and drinks celebrating The Humans Who Feed Us project and unveiling new portraits and profiles.
The Humans Who Feed Us is an award-winning project that focuses on celebrating and elevating the immigrant community members who work across the food supply chain, ranging from agricultural workers, restaurant workers, grocery store employees, truck drivers, meat and poultry workers, and so many others. Immigrant community members are among those who help to feed us through their work.
"The Humans Who Feed Us" is a national portrait and narrative project of Justice for Migrant Women and its founder, Mónica Ramírez, to humanize these individuals; to show the interdependence among businesses, the workers they employ and consumers; and to foster a sense of belonging for these incredible community members in the places where they live and work. "The Humans Who Feed Us" was originally launched in August 2021 in Ohio with a focus on sharing the stories of agricultural workers. It was scaled nationally in November 2021 and expanded to include immigrant community members employed across the food supply chain, including dairy, poultry, restaurant and grocery store workers. Together, each of these individuals plays a role to ensure that we each have the food to sustain ourselves and to celebrate special moments.
The project counts on the support of ally organizations, including Race Forward; internationally renowned chef Ingrid Hoffmann and other chef partners; restaurants; universities; and corporate partners.
Join us in not only celebrating their contributions to our community, but working together toward a world that treats all workers with dignity and respect. Together, we can honor the workers who bring food to our tables.
