New York City’S Wage Theft Crisis, Amanda Rozon
New York City’S Wage Theft Crisis, Amanda Rozon

This project was created after the feedback I heard in discussion during my time at a food market in Harlem. The final product includes a complete list of over 70 food-focused organizations in Harlem, an interactive map, some important information about the included resources, and a list of definitions.
