Aramark, as a food service provider, profits from the abuse of our incarcerated family, sources from Big Food corporations that contribute to environmental destruction and locks out local farmers, fishers, and food businesses in the process. Berklee gave Aramark $7 million in a single year. That 7 million comes directly from us, the students, and our families. Berklee has remained contracted with Aramark for the past 20 years, and it is our collective responsibility to hold them accountable for their affiliation with the prison industrial complex and lack of equity within our local food economy through their partnership with Aramark. Ending this contract, and investing in a self-operated dining system that prioritizes students, workers, our local and global food systems, and community at large is the future.
