Impact Report Innovation to Impact We Believe Good Food Belongs to People, Not Landfills Impact Report Innovation to Impact We believe good food belongs to people, not landfills. Here’s a great statistic: Our service level stands at 99%. We miss From the CEO only one percent of available food rescues. And our volunteers— “So glad somebody is finally doing our Food Rescue Heroes—have completed more than 18,000 of something about this! I hate seeing all this them in three years. This year alone, we will complete as many. food go to waste.” Or more. That’s one of the most common responses we hear when We have sparked unprecedented civic engagement—building the largest volunteer we talk about what 412 Food Rescue does. food transport network in the U.S. It is reliable. It is resilient. And grows more each day. No one likes to waste food. No restaurant staff, grocery employee, or any person in the food industry feels happy At 412 Food Rescue, we believe in people. Our technology is powered by everyone’s about being the one to have to throw away the unsold desire to do good. food at the end of the day. There is a visceral reaction to taking perfectly edible food and throwing it in the garbage because there is nothing right about it. I say that unequivocally. Nothing. We understand that it’s a challenge. The infrastructure to support redirecting surplus Leah Lizarondo from food retailers has not existed. Until now. Co-Founder, CEO The goal of 412 Food Rescue has been to build that infrastructure. And as we scale in Pittsburgh, working with more than 400 food retail locations, we are reaching major milestones that break food rescue barriers. This year and beyond, we begin to share that infrastructure with other cities. Technology is essential to making this happen. In November 2016, we launched the first version of our app, Food Rescue Hero, making it possible to coordinate thousands of volunteers. Since then, more than 4,000 people have downloaded, registered, and raised their hands to be part of our network of volunteer drivers—receiving push notifications of available food and rescuing food that’s near them. “You mean everyone is a volunteer?” We get this a lot too. Yes, volunteers. “How do you plan to make this sustainable?” Sometimes, we (lovingly) understand that this question means, “I’m uncomfortable with relying on people’s desire to do good.” But think about firefighters. We have more than 1.1 million firefighters in the U.S. – almost 70% of whom are volunteers. People step up. We just need to give everyone a chance to do so.

Traditional logistics models do not work for food recovery at the retail level. Food surplus at the retail sector is difficult to recover for many reasons. Food retail is a highly distributed network. Food surplus at wholesale and retail can be unpredictable with relatively small quantities of food at each location. Food at retail is approaching the end of its useful life – produce is ripe or approaching its expiration date. It needs to be used right away and will not survive the time lag of a truck-warehouse distribution model. 52% While smaller in quantity at each location – food surplus at retail, when aggregated, accounts for almost half of all food that is wasted. of food that goes Impacting food insecurity is about to waste is providing fresh food. produce – food that is difficult to access 15% 47% for those in poverty. of national food of what donations are fresh food 412 Food Rescue distributes is fresh food Source: Fast Company, November 2017 13 14 “The Uber of Food Rescue” In November 2016, we launched our app “Food Rescue Hero.” 6 minutes Median time between push notification to a rescue being accepted 5miles Average distance between donor and nonprofit We move people to move food.

They were part of a series of banlieue rebellions throughout France during these decades. As a result, to some French the banlieues became associated exclusively with “minority,” otherness, lawlessness, and hopelessness. Meanwhile, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in the 1980s and 1990s was reeling from a

  • Pittsburgh, PA Previous GTCA City 2013
    Pittsburgh, PA Previous GTCA City 2013 Contact: Tom Piccone ([email protected]); Andy Wang ([email protected]) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ The Church of God in Pittsburgh The Church of God in Pittsburgh was originally established as the Church in Pittsburgh in 1983, primarily through a migration of saints mainly from Ohio. Some years after a turmoil, the Church of God in Pittsburgh was incorporated in 2017. The church does not presently have a meeting hall, but meets on university campuses and in various saints’ homes. Approximately 40 currently gather on Lord’s Day mornings, including four children. The racial composition of the church is 59% Chinese and 16% Caucasian, with the remaining 25% a mix of Korean, Vietnamese, Black, and Indian. The current church life in Pittsburgh focuses primarily on campus work at the University of Pittsburgh (Pitt) and Carnegie Mellon University (CMU), though the need to gain more families is of equal priority (and not necessarily separate). Each year, the Lord adds remaining fruit to His Body through the saints’ labor on the campuses to gain college and graduate students, and sometimes university staff. In the past 12 years of campus work, dozens have been gained, but most have moved away. Only a handful of them have not been Asian. While the saints in Pittsburgh welcome all who would like to move here, we particularly see a need for young American families to migrate to the Pittsburgh area in order to share the burden of shepherding and gaining some from the population of American students and families for the strengthening of His testimony in this locality and region.

  • “The Social Cut of Black and Yellow Female Hip Hop” Erick Raven
    “The Social Cut of Black and Yellow Female Hip Hop” Erick Raven University of Texas at Arlington May 2020 Abstract Korean female hip hop artists are expanding the definition of femininity in South Korea through hip hop. In doing so, they are following a tradition first established by Black female musical performers in a new context. Korean artists are conceiving and expressing, through rap and dance, alternative versions of a “Korean woman,” thus challenging and attempting to add to the dominant conceptions of “woman.” This Thesis seeks to point out the ways female Korean hip hop artists are engaging dominant discourse regarding skin tone, body type, and expression of female sexuality, and creating spaces for the development of new discourses about gender in South Korean society. Contents Introduction – Into the Cut ................................................ 1 Chapter I – Yoon Mi-rae and Negotiating the West and East of Colorism ............................................................. 12 Chapter II – The Performing Black and Yellow Female Body ................................................................................ 31 Chapter III – Performing Sexuality ................................. 47 Chapter IV – Dis-Orientation .......................................... 59 Conclusion .................................................................... 67 Works Cited .................................................................... 70 Introduction – Into the Cut Identities are performed discourse; they are formed when those who identify as a particular personality perform and establish a discourse in a particular social context. As George Lipsitz states, “improvisation is a site of encounter” (61). In South Korea, female Korean hip hop is the site of a social cut in dominant culture and has become a space of improvisation where new, counter-hegemonic identities are constructed and performed. In this Thesis, I argue that Korean female hip hop artists are enacting a social rupture by performing improvised identities.
