Brownsville is one of the poorest neighborhoods in NYC, suffering from among the highest rates of obesity, diabetes, heart disease and related illnesses in New Yori City. African-American and Latino residents are dying at twice the rate from Covid-19 as more affluent areas. 99 percent of PS 298 students qualify for free or reduced lunch. A century ago, this neighborhood was inhabited by poor Jewish immigrants, who started "food riots" due to the lack of fresh fruits and vegetables and high cost of food at that time. Today, these same issues afflict the current population, largely minority. We have a chance to bring these different communities together over a common history of social and economic injustice. In 1917, Black Americans were marching for civil rights at the same time Jewish mothers descended on City Hall, demanding that they have the right to eat healthy and affordably. Today, food insecurity is only getting worse during the pandemic, and the hardest hit areas are challenged low-income neighborhoods, exactly like Brownsville. This is day in which neighbors of different faiths and means come together to ensure everyone is taken care of.
