Ashley Jackson, RevJJackson's daughter, is hosting a vegan event at the Metropolitan African Methodist Episcopal Church in DC on Sunday. In collaboration with PETA, she will serve vegan meals as part of her ambassadorship to the Food Justice Project.
Ashley Jackson, in collaboration with People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, will serve vegan meals to congregants as part of her ambassadorship to the Food Justice Project, which has the goal of redirecting meat, egg, and dairy subsidies to food deserts to fund healthier options. A food desert is a neighborhood without a grocery store within a half-mile, but convenience stores abound.
About 11% of Washington constitutes a food desert, according to the D.C. Policy Center. Meanwhile, about 68,900 Washingtonians go hungry. Some $17 million in federal subsidies each year go to the fruit and vegetable industries, and about $38 billion go to the meat, egg, and dairy industries."Everyone deserves access to fresh plant-based foods that nourish the body, mind, and soul," the Metropolitan AME Rev. William Lamar IV said.
