HAGS Wants To Be NYC’s Best Version Of A Queer Potluck
"Food is just as important as activism to Justice and Lindsley, which is why Nuestra Mesa—a volunteer-run kitchen collective specializing in fundraising initiatives for mutual aid in Brooklyn—is one of their first recommendations to come to mind. “We are so in awe of their work and spirit,” Justice and Lindsley say. “Every Nuestra Mesa event we’ve been to has been a little bit different, but equally exciting!” Some of their favorites from these events have included dishes like sorullitos de maiz with mayoketchup, and chuletas fritas with pickled onion and charred pepper. “We don’t want to imagine a world without folks like Nuestra Mesa. Their vision and determination literally changes lives in our neighborhoods and reminds us that we can do it too! We all have a responsibility to participate in mutual aid.”" - sam stone 1
