Oakland, Calif.-based startup Impossible Foods is teaming up with Colin Kaepernick’s Know Your Rights Camp to feed one million people in need.
The partnership kicked off last week in the San Francisco Bay Area when Impossible Foods donated plant-based products to local food truck Al Pastor Papi, which distributed the meals in the Bayview district at Cornerstone Missionary Baptist Church. Meals will also reach communities in need via the Marin Food Bank and Know Your Rights Camp events in New York City and Los Angeles.
Colin Kaepernick, known worldwide for peacefully protesting police brutality and institutional racism during the 2019 NFL season, founded the Know Your Rights Camp as a way to strengthen Black and Brown communities through education, self-empowerment, leadership, and mass mobilization.
“Gaining access to healthy and affordable food should not be a challenge for residents of any community,” Know Your Rights Camp’s Director of Community Outreach Patricia Robinson said. “Know Your Rights Camp is committed to participating in changing the outcomes and disparities that currently exist for families, while we further grow awareness and acknowledge that maintaining good health and nutrition should not be selective for some, but should be experienced by all.”
Impossible Foods, which began donating plant-based meals to food banks in 2018, plans to work with other social justice organizations, as well. The Silicon Valley-based tech startup manufactures top-rated, nutritious plant-based meat and dairy products. Impossible Foods donated around 10,000 pounds of Impossible Burgers weekly throughout the early spring and summer to food banks, front-line workers, and communities affected by the pandemic.
Everyone should have access to healthy, plant-based meals.
BRAVO !!
Colin Kaepernic is scum !
I hope you aren’t paying him to be a traitor
you should be called IMPOSSIBLE COMMON SENSE!! I’m trying to “keep it peaceful and family friendly” You don’t want to hear what I really think! just make sure you feed all his buddies, BLM, Antifa, the paid Rioters, looters, killers, vandalizers of public, Federal and private property. Feed them all, maybe they’ll come after YOU next! He is the MOST unamerican idiot that lives in this country he hates so much….but this terrible, awful , racist country sure as hell made him a multimillionaire though! What joke! I wont watch or touch ANYTHING that is associated with this idiot.
IMPOSSIBLE FOODS YOU WILL FAIL BEFORE YOU GET OFF OF THE GROUND!!! WOW! CHOOSING THIS PUNK !!! YOU HAVE TO BE KIDDING ME
Truly not interested in ANYTHING Colin Kaepernick is involved in, but the rest of your work and reporting is very uplifting.
I won’t touch anything that this guy’s name is associated with!
Shameful. Don’t work with someone who can’t respect the flag.
This meat maybe grown in lab by Bill Gates and not be healthy. Any soy may also hurt being GMO/Roundup/block thyroid/raise estrogen.
Why are you teaming up with Colin Kaepernick? He represents and is promoted by Nike whose sneakers are made by the Weegers in China?? The Weegers are actually slaves in “re-education” camps which are no different than concentration camps. Ironic, right?
To have this racist bigot un American representing anything is a disgrace and an affront to all things American. He also represents some of the very things he protests about, like slavery, with his support of NIKE. Supporting a hypocrite is hypocrisy and it is sad that you would allow this to represent your company, which I will not.
Bravo aux equipes qui s occupent de mettre en premiere ligne, ces horreurs faites a nos animaux et, bravo aux autorites qui les adoptent ! Il est grand temps !!!
Sending compassion in the name of compassion and compassion tastes so much better. Thank you Colin and thanks for the post.
What a great guy! His parents must be proud. It looks like Kaepernick has found his purpose in life.
Very nice.
I love impossible burgers.
Sorry but anything or any company that associates itself with Kaepernick will NEVER get my business…PERIOD !
He is a liberal socialist who disrespects America and is in bed with the radical marxist group BLM.
IMPOSSIBLE FOODS needs to re-evaluate their decision to team with this POS!
BLM is not a group– it’s a movement. And it’s not Marxist.
Honestly George? Like Jean said, lease think of what you’re saying
This is awesome some good news.
