Hunger Solutions New York commends Congress for last week’s passage of the bipartisan Keep Kids Fed Act. The bill is an important first step in mitigating a looming hunger cliff as we approach the expiration of critical pandemic-related flexibilities and benefits, including child nutrition waivers originally set to expire on June 30, 2022.

The legislation:
– Extends USDA’s authority to issue certain child nutrition waivers, including:
• Summer nutrition waivers through September 30, 2022.

This month we celebrate both Juneteenth and Pride. Pride was a riot, started by our trans and disabled elders; A display of collective power against oppression. We also celebrate resistance through Juneteenth, a longstanding Black American holiday to uplift resilience and create space for Black joy, rest, and reflection. We hope that as you celebrate Pride and Juneteenth you consider ways to improve the material realities of QTBIPOC daily, outside of holidays and events.

Truth Commission Report from Labor Power and the 3rd Reconstruction

“We’re living through an era of transformation in work and labor. Longstanding trends of decreased manufacturing and increases in service sector jobs, coupled with rapid advances in automation, have led to increasing precarity among workers. The COVID-19 pandemic caused immediate mass unemployment, but almost as quickly forced workers back into jobs with little or no additional safety precautions, expansions of healthcare coverage, or paid sick and family leave.
