Life’s a Banquet with Zahra Tangorra & Nicole Bailey

In this week's episode we go off topic, and by that we mean totally structureless, and dicuss the goings on in the world including the Black Lives Matter movment, our bleak political landscape, fake news, and conspiracy theroies galore.We urge you to support the Black Lives Matter movment in any and all ways that you can. 

In March, HRN began producing all of our 35 weekly shows from our homes all around the country. It was hard work stepping away from our little recording studio, but we know that you rely on HRN to share resources and important stories from the world of food each week. It’s been a tough year for all of us, but right now HRN is asking for your help. Every dollar that listeners give to HRN provides essential support to keep our mics on. We've got some fresh new thank you gifts available, like our limited edition bandanas.

We have a very special episode mini episode today featuring our pals from the Service Workers Coalition. We are grateful for what they are doing to help the service community during this crisis, and wanted to spread the word about their mutual aid services. Please enjoy, and please donate!  

*Service Workers Coalition is a grassroots Mutual Aid Fund, and now incorporated Non-Profit Organization, that has mobilized to respond to the evolving needs of laid off hospitality workers throughout the COVID-19 crisis. The central action of SWC is grocery stipends. The fund offers $50 a week grocery stipends to any out of work service industry workers. We also offer delivery of those supplies if a worker is quarantined for any reason, or does not have access to a bank account, which is needed for wire transfer of the stipend. We are also offering to facilitate harm reduction supply access and coordinate wellness check-ins and other mental health services remotely.
