No Hate On My Plate Initiative
No Hate on My Plate will be piloted in 2025 and is designed to hold a communal meals across the city each month where community members will have a safe space to discuss experiences and observations regarding the environments and places where hateful and discriminatory behavior has occurred or is occurring.
Moderators of these discussions will take note of various topics raised and provide a report back to the MHRC. The combined information gleaned from all these meals will be utilized to inform our elected officials, community leaders, nonprofit organizations, and neighborhoods of residents’ experiences and perceptions. Moreover, the discussions will, ideally, create a sense of community and understanding among complete strangers.
