Paul Taylor is the Executive Director of FoodShare Toronto, and a lifelong anti-poverty activist. Growing up materially poor in Toronto, Paul has used his experience to fuel a career focused not just on helping others, but dismantling the beliefs and systems that lead to poverty and food insecurity, including colonialism, capitalism, white supremacy, and patriarchal structures.Each year, FoodShare provides a quarter million people with fresh produce, and fights for their right to have access to "good" food on their own terms, rather than charity on someone else's. Paul's experience includes Executive Director roles at Gordon Neighbourhood House and the Downtown Eastside Neighbourhood House. He has also chaired the British Columbia Poverty Reduction Coalition, served on the Board of Directors of the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives and as Vice-Chair of Food Secure Canada.Resources:— Paul Taylor's website: https://www.paultaylorto.com/— FoodShare: https://foodshare.net/— Gordon Neighbourhood House: https://gordonhouse.org/— Downtown Eastside Neighbourhood House: https://www.dtesnhouse.ca/— Nourish Scotland: https://www.nourishscotland.org/ — Global Solidarity Alliance: https://rightsnotcharity.org/ — WhyHunger: https://whyhunger.org/
