Less than a month ago, Working Not Working launched the Work In Progress program and assembled a task force of 20 diverse creatives who work for companies including Google, Snapchat, XPRIZE and TED to create solutions to LA's biggest civic issues. For our first project, labeled FoodFight!, we partnered with VICE Media, local non-profits including Safe Place For Youth and L.A. Kitchen, and members of the Mayor's Operations Innovation team to develop actionable ideas to reduce food waste and improve access to healthy food at homeless shelters across the city. None of us expected that just a few weeks later, we'd have thousands of fellow Angelenos eager to support our ideas.
