For the first time since Mid-November, you can now make reservations and grab a meal or drinks, indoors, at restaurants and bars in Michigan again. People working in the industry have some cautious optimism. Maybe the return of indoor dining means we’re on a slow return to normalcy?

Michigan Restaurants Reopen for In-Person Dining

Marker 11

After 14 years of organizing and building, the Detroit People’s Food Co-op will open its doors on Wednesday, May 1st, with a grand opening celebration to follow on Saturday, May 19th. 

The co-op was fathered by the Detroit Black Community Food Security Network. Malik Yakini, who co-founded the group, currently serves as its executive director.

"Part of what we're working on is really not just addressing access, but addressing the questions of who shapes the food system, who owns it, who benefits from it,” Yakini said. “And really, we're trying to make a shift in power from the corporate side of things, controlling things to actually having a food system that is shaped by control by and serves people.”



GUESTS:
Akil Talley, general manager, the Detroit People’s Food Co-op
Malik Yakini, co-founder and executive director of the Detroit Black Community Food Security Network

The Detroit People's Food Co-Op

For many years, Michigan was considered a national political bellwether. 
There are so many factors in play this year. We’ve talked in recent days about how the arrival of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on the Michigan ballot last week as a candidate with the Natural Law Party might shift primary results. So, is Michigan going to be any kind of predictor of trends in national election results in 2024? In this episode, Michigan State University political science professor Matt Grossman helped us look ahead to what will matter this November. 

GUEST: 

Matt Grossman, professor of political science, Michigan State University
