Episode 3 - The Friendly Fridge with Selma Raven and Sara Allen
In this episode, we talk with Selma Raven and Sara Allen of the Friendly Fridge BX, a community food distribution point and mutual aid experiment at 242nd Street and Broadway in the Bronx. The duo talks about how the experiment has been transformative for all, the steep learning curve that the two of them had as the fridge got up and running, and how the act of experimentation taught them to act boldly and without permission.
