“Food builds big bridges. If you can eat with someone, you can learn from them, and when you learn from someone, you can make big changes.”
-Leah Chase, The Queen of Creole Cuisine
Guided by the belief that food is the fuel for the revolution, Fuel The People works to provide nourishment to protestors on the front lines, support local Black and POC-owned restaurants and businesses, and donate to local organizations who work tirelessly to support Black liberation.
The fight for liberation and justice goes beyond protests, and we must remember that Black joy and prosperity are also worth fighting for.
Straight to the Frontlines
Help us fuel the front lines at protests in DC and NYC by donating, or volunteering with us to distribute food.
With your donations, in our first 3 years, we have been able to:
Feed more than 50,000 individuals across our cities
Provide protesters with necessary safety equipment and first aid kits
Partner with 40 Black and POC-owned restaurants in DC & NYC
Donate $6,500 to local and grassroots organizations dedicated to justice
Our Partners
We establish partnerships with local Black and POC-owned restaurants and businesses that provide the meals in order to ensure funds are being fueled back into the communities that uplift us.
We also welcome partnerships with allies in the restaurant industry who are committed to Black liberation.
