About this Event

WNYC In Conversation: The Affordability Series

Join us for the first in a five-part live community series focused on New York City’s affordability crisis. IN CONVERSATION: THE AFFORDABILITY SERIES brings New Yorkers together across lines of income, identity, and experience to explore how the affordability crisis impacts their lives—and where shared interests can lead to deeper understanding and solutions.

WNYC is traveling across the boroughs to hear directly from New Yorkers like you about how you're navigating the affordability crisis. On Tuesday, July 21, we’ll be at B.E.M. books & more in Bedford-Stuyvesant.

We’re bringing together SNAP recipients, food justice advocates, and neighborhood grocers to discuss how they're being impacted by the food affordability crisis, as well as policy makers to explore solutions that work for the entire community.

There will also be tips on how to stretch your food dollar, fun recipes using in-season groceries, and a chance to take home some WNYC swag! Doors open at 6:30 pm, and the event starts at 7 pm.

Tickets are free, but registration is required, and attendees are encouraged to bring a canned food donation.
