What I learned about Social Justice “work” and/or Civil and Human rights “work” from this fieldwork:
I learned how it’s hard to manage community fridges and it takes a lot of work and commitment. You also have to get fridges donated to you and you also have to get food donations. You have to fill up the food at least 1-2 times a day and it builds a sense of community. You can meet your community and start to understand them (and other communities) and you also get volunteers who donate food or money.
