ABOUT US
Everyone Can Eat began in 2013 when co-founder, Michael v. Greene joined the fight to ban disposable plastic bags in Los Angeles and was tapped by the environmental non-profit group, Ademas, to shoot a public service announcement. The PSA was played in front of the LA City Council immediately before the vote. On June 17, 2013, Los Angeles became the largest city in the nation to ban disposable plastic bags with an 11-1 vote.
Since then, ECE has continued to create socially conscious content geared toward swaying public opinion in matters of health, social justice, and the betterment of humankind. They have worked with the Keck School of Medicine of USC, Los Angeles County Department of Health Services, the Southern California Clinical and Translational Science Institute, the Southern California Healthcare Delivery Science Center, and the American Heart Association. Through storytelling, ECE strives to amplify the voices of the causes and the people who need it the most. This commitment was recognized with their film, "Vaccinate Watts", an official selection in the 2022 American Public Health Association's annual Film Festival.
