GLIDE Love and News - April 2023

Clubs and Organizations

April 25, 2023

From: Glide

A Note from Malcolm Walter:
Support GLIDE's Cecil Williams Fund for the Hungry

Here at GLIDE, we believe in food for all – no exceptions and no exclusions. Because nutrition is a necessity, not a luxury – and in the wealthiest society on the face of the earth, no one should go hungry.

Unfortunately, growing income inequality and rapidly rising food costs mean that food insecurity now affects one in four people in San Francisco.

Many working-class households are facing difficult choices every month between food, housing, and medicine.

Our Daily Free Meals program – which originally started as a volunteer-run, community potluck serving 50 people – now supports our community with more than 10,000 nutritious, culturally-appropriate meals per week, in an environment where ALL can eat with dignity.

Discuss "The Riders Come Out At Night" with Authors Ali Winston & Darwin Bondgraham and Glide’s Center For Social Justice

Ali Winston and Darwin BondGraham illuminate American police culture and the struggle for reform by using Oakland as a case study. Through the lens of the city’s police department, the authors trace Oakland’s history from its inception through the Palmer Raids, McCarthyism, the Civil Rights movement, the Black Panthers, and the crack era to its current revival.

It tells the story of a single city and its police force, but it also tells the story of American policing and its future. Over 21 years of fearless reporting have culminated in The Riders Come Out at Night – Brutality, Corruption, and Cover-up in Oakland

Host: Dr. Holly Joshi, Director for GLIDE’s Center for Social Justice

RAISING $500 TO DISTRIBUTE LUNCHES WHEN YOU ARE 14?

What do you say about a 14-year-old GLIDE volunteer who applied for a grant JUST to help our organization feed the hungry? SIMPLY AMAZING!

And that’s exactly what San Francisco native and GLIDE volunteer Landon To accomplished (with a little help from mom, Dina).

Dina To originally came to San Francisco to attend law school and always oriented herself towards the bridging of community partnerships. She passed on the values of helping those who are less fortunate to her children.
