1 in 5 New Yorkers are using Food Stamps. They have big impacts on our community, all the way from what we eat to how businesses pay their employees.
Students from the International Community High School in the Bronx worked with teaching artist James Whitman to find out who makes decisions about Food Stamps. They talked to a community advocate, drew diagrams of the Food Stamp system, and thought of alternatives to the Food Stamp program. They made this fold-out poster to show how Food Stamps work, and perspectives they researched.
