Relentless Cities: NYC Change Agents

Relentless Cities is a series of powerful stories and conversations documenting a community’s dedicated pursuit of health in the face of COVID- 19, racial injustice, system limitations and health inequities – all being met by an unyielding spirit of resilience.

We begin with a three-part series in NYC.  Meet Change Agents Stephen and Lizette Ritz, founders of the Green Bronx Machine who are on track to help millions of under-served communities be healthier one child at a time

In this episode you’ll learn:

• How the COVID -19 crisis has exposed just how vulnerable underserved communities are when it comes to underlying risks, fragilities, and inequities in our food system;
• Why food justice matters;
• How to empower a community through healthy fresh food;
• How to use food to promote community and economic development;
• How you too can become a change agent in your community and beyond.
