Food as Resistance: A Panel of Michigan Changemaker Chefs (Food Literacy for All): Food Literacy for All
Talk description: The third annual “Food as Resistance” event will kick off the 2026 Food Literacy for All course. Food has been entwined with resistance movements, from lunch counter sit-ins and the Black Panther Breakfast Program of the US Civil Rights Movement to current organizing around sustainability and equitable food access for all. Join us for a Chef-led conversation on the role of food in movement building. A collaboration between Food Literacy for All and Michigan Dining, the participating Michigan Dining chefs develop and personally serve small dishes that are significant to each chef’s culture and experience – and are connected to the themes of resistance and community care. Reception with small plates begins at 6PM and the program begins at 6:30PM. All are welcome to attend! If attending in person, please RSVP in advance: https://forms.gle/hTynvknTiVm5vgpCA
