Today is the National Day of Mourning.
A day to honor Indigenous resistance, land stewardship, and the communities who continue to survive and protect what was never meant to be taken.
In addition to being the commemoration of the genoc*de and displacement of Indigenous peoples, it’s often used as a way for a box to be checked when it comes to fulfilling community needs.
At Neighborhood Fridge, we recognize that food justice is inseparable from Indigenous struggles for sovereignty. The food systems we navigate today were shaped by colonization, displacement, and ongoing harm—and our work is a small part of imagining something different: shared abundance, collective care, and access to food without policing or stigma.
While many celebrate Thanksgiving, we choose to focus on giving what we can, every day.
