Building Community Power and Resiliency
Everybody vs. Racism (EvR) has been working alongside our Nashville community through a collective impact approach to design and implement programmatic efforts called the “Everybody” series, which provides community support around education and activation relating to the intersection of anti-racism and common systemic injustices such as literacy, food insecurity, financial empowerment, and beyond. Our idea for positively impacting the world is to take what we and the community have built together through this series to the next level by scaling our model, which has achieved positive results in 13 cities across the U.S.
To provide healthy, culturally relevant food and resources for access to support such as SNAP/food stamps, WIC, and other critical anti-hunger supports. Starting by preventing food insecurity in Nashville, we work towards scaling positive impact.
