It is with great sadness we are announcing that the Maryland Food Collective has concluded its legendary 44 year run. The workers and the community spent these last months fighting for this space to remain autonomous and student controlled, but our efforts weren’t enough. 1/7

Can’t believe this is on CBS. This guy @tonydokoupil is so good; such a light touch. Watch & RT.

@spacey_lords @SheRatesDogs Oh my god is this real?!

This is not sustainable.

Food security should be a basic provision for all families and students, and reliance on one-time payments from private companies is not dependable.

School lunch debt should not exist in the first place!

@DCPoliceDept @mlovdc This isn't an isolated event. Immigrant street vendors in DC have been facing harassment by MPD and DCRA for months. Some vendors have been assaulted or had their belongings thrown in the trash.

Support street vendors by signing their petition:

Two former @mdfoodcoop worker-owners are on the team behind a new co-op thrift store pop-up this semester. My latest for @thedbk.

Climate protestors have now shut down New York Ave at 395 in NW Washington. Multiple intersections now impacted across DC. Organizers say: “this will not be business as usual”

After @mrbrennan02’s rendition of Grateful Dead’s “Man Smart, Woman Smarter,” a police officer approached him. “Louder,” he said.

Op-ed by @mrbrennan02 on some lessons we should remember from the Maryland Food Co-op.

[Rev. Jeffrey Spencer @RevJSS]

Top five things teachers can do to support the #GlobalClimateStrike:
1. Do not schedule any exams, project deadlines, etc. for Sept. 20 or 27.
2. Let your students know you support the #GlobalClimateStrike.

[Maryland Food Co-op @mdfoodcoop]

The Co-op community and workers are already looking into new ways a student-run cooperative space could be opened on campus! We're continuing to meet weekly for communal dinners & to brainstorm how we can use our leftover money and assets.

[potato @OldBayMason]

What a shame. I hope to see it come back ASAP, with or without the University’s involvement.

[The Diamondback @thedbk]

Despite the best efforts of its workers, the Maryland Food Co-op is closed.
