​Soapbox Project, Amrūt, and Rethink Food are so excited to welcome you to our November plant-based supper club.

​We can't wait you invite you to a joyful community space where you can connect, learn, and take action towards a more resilient future.

​“Time slowed down and we just ate, laughed, and talked for hours. This evening was so special and I feel so much more closely connected to my community!”

​What to expect

​We'll welcome you to an evening of vibrant, nourishing, and seasonal food. You'll get a four-course meal, where each course is paired with a climate action prompt.

​Here's what's on the menu for the night:

• ​plant-based dishes crafted from locally sourced and upcycled ingredients (food that would have otherwise gone to waste)

• ​a nourishing meal, great company, and thoughtful conversation prompts

• ​a learning session with Sheryll Durrant and Ranya Perez Santana who will teach you about land use and justice in NYC

• ​a guided climate advocacy exercise that connects you with your local representatives

• ​a community chat that helps you continue conversations with your new friends and take bite-sized actions together in the future

​Location: Rethink Food Sustainable Community Kitchen, 116 W Houston Street (upcycled food will be sourced by them!)

​Date & time: Thursday, November 7th, 6-9pm. Dinner service will start at 6:30pm sharp, so please try to arrive on time.

​Purpose: Deepen your connection with the place you live and the people around you so we can transform our climate anxiety and loneliness into meaningful action. Also, have fun!

​Price: $80 general admission, $40 for Soapbox members (you can join our membership here)

​Includes: Dinner, connection activities, expert guest speakers, advocacy tips, and the general feeling that you're not alone in this world
