TATI: Brick Lane Community Café
A collective of BAME women and young people have a wonderful plan to open a Bangla community not-for-profit café in Brick Lane –TATI – serving authentic home-made Bangla food organically and ethically sourced. This project has been seeking crowdfunding. It is within sight of success but has only a very few days left to collect the last 10% of funding.
Please consider helping TATI – and if we succeed, please go and eat there when it opens!

Food Inequalities: Social Rights
A new group of London-based food and nutrition activists is being launched. We are people who feel passionately about social justice, in particular injustice related to food and health. Good nutritious food shouldn't be a privilege - it's a human right!
Join us for a meeting where Martin Caraher, Professor of Food and Health Policy will lead a discussion on Food Inequalities: Social Rights.
We are opening a 'critical' conversation in London about food inequality in all its forms, such as food poverty, its health impacts and local access. It is 'critical' in thinking and in timing, given the great level of inequality that exists in London. Now's the time for practitioners, academics, food workers, community & social media activists to link up so we can influence policy and engage with activism to ensure Londoner's voices are heard by policymakers.
This group is aligned to Critical Dietetics and Dietitians for Social Justice, who firmly believe food and health are clear human rights that go beyond the traditional professional boundaries.
