Hundreds of anti-ICE protesters brought their local Home Depot to a halt by buying and returning 17-cent ice scrapers
This weekend, Californians across Monrovia and Burbank formed long lines outside of their local Home Depots to participate in a unique protest: buying and immediately returning 17-cent ice scrapers, disrupting sales and leading to a chaos of mass returns at registers.
Organized by the National Day Laborer Organizing Network, the protest was in response to increased ICE presence at Home Depot stores, calling on the retailer’s management to keep federal officers off their property.
Why is this good news? As customers, it can feel near impossible to move the needle in getting massive corporations to change, but peaceful, creative, nonviolent protests like these speak volumes in getting people in power to listen and act.
A private chef uses restaurant food scraps to make gourmet meals for local food banks
Once a week, Maddy Goldberg posts up in the kitchen of the York Fort Food Bank in Toronto, Canada, where she makes gourmet meals with whatever she can find.
She started by using up whatever free and accessible ingredients were already available at the food pantry — then her friends in the culinary community began offering ingredients that would otherwise go to waste.
Thanks to those contributions, she’s made homemade hummus, curry cauliflower, a potato frittata with confit garlic, spinach fried rice, and other gourmet meals that people often don’t see in the distribution line at the food bank.
