Tottenham Right To Food march, 23rd September 2023
On Saturday 23rd September 2023 over 300 people joined the Haringey Right To Food march through Tottenham. This was part of a national day of action calling for everyone to be guaranteed access to the food they need, for free school meals for all attending school, and for higher wages and benefits. The march ended at Tottenham Green where there was a mini-festival of resistance with stalls, free food, speeches and music. Organised by Haringey Right To Food Campaign, backed by Haringey Community Action Network.
Hunger is a political choice. Community organised inspiring Haringey #RightToFood march and festival in Tottenham to demand food as a legal right. 40 percent of London’s children have experienced food poverty, in one of the world’s richest cities. @IanByrneMP @HaringeyWeCan pic.twitter.com/iKzMwb2Vlo
