The Little Panthers Program was inspired by the Black Panthers’ Breakfast Program, which recognized the deep connection between racism and food insecurity. Similarly, we see the intertwined struggles of land access, food apartheid, and systemic racism. Our journey began with a two-week breakfast program for Black youth in the NDG area, made possible through partnerships with Concordia groups and food donations from Moisson Montreal. The overwhelming community support—highlighted by a $2,000 donation from someone who had faced lifelong food insecurity—affirmed the urgent need for such initiatives.
