Event summary

Join us for the 2nd Annual 5K event, "Providing Is Prevention," taking place on Saturday, September 7, 2024, in Louisville, Jefferson. This uplifting community gathering will start at 8:00 AM and run until 11:00 AM, beginning at Baxter Square and winding back to the old Haymarket. Together, we will shine a light on the urgent food and transportation inequalities affecting our neighborhoods, where 60,000 residents share just two grocery stores, a stark contrast to the more affluent side of town.

Participants can choose between free registration, which includes lite snacks, water, and coffee, or a $20 registration that features snacks, drinks, and a stylish 40 oz Hydroflask. By joining us in this important 5K, you are taking a stand against food apartheid and advocating for the right to fresh food and accessible transportation for all. Let’s unite in resilience and action, making a bold statement for a better tomorrow!

Organiser's description

Change Today, Change Tomorrow http://change-today.org presents our 2nd Annual 5k. This pivotal action serves as a powerful illustration of the existing food and transportation inequalities within our neighborhoods, underlining the drastic need for change. As our community of 60,000 shares just two grocery stores in stark contrast to the more affluent east side's fifteen stores, we walk in unity and resilience, making our message clear: Access to fresh food and transportation is not a privilege; it is a right. By participating in our event, you join us in a crucial step towards eradicating food apartheid and creating a more equitable community. Stand with us as we take bold steps towards change today, for a better tomorrow.
