CREATE ·2024 Grants ChallengeA Just Food Movement for LA
LA’s restaurant scene is world renowned but plagued with economic insecurity. This project improves working conditions in the restaurant industry by raising labor standards and leveling the playing field for small business owners. By establishing a Restaurant Council of workers, government officials, and responsible restaurant owners to monitor and nurture the restaurant industry in Koreatown and beyond, KIWA will ensure that restaurant workers receive a fair wage and local restaurant owners can compete fairly in the sector.
