            Once upon a time, in one of France’s poorest neighbourhoods, 
Kamel and his coworkers took on McDonald’s and turned their workplace into 
something magical.

            They spent 20 years fighting the most powerful fast food chain – 
dreaming of creating a place that could offer good jobs, fair pay and a 
chance to uplift their community out of unemployment and poverty.

            McDonald's hated that. It tried everything to get rid of Kamel – 
even threatening his life! And when that didn’t work, McDonald’s fired 
everyone and shut down the restaurant.

            But instead of giving up on their dream, Kamel and his coworkers 
rolled up their sleeves and turned the discarded, hollow space McDonald’s 
abandoned into a vibrant community food bank — now feeding 2,000 families a 
week for free. They rehired staff, redecorated, spread the word and restored 
the heart of their community.

            This magical place is called l’Après M (“the After M” for after 
McDonald's) – and it needs you.

            Kamel and his coworkers aren’t home free – their building is 
about to be sold. But if we help them buy it, they can turn l’Apres M into a 
permanent community oasis – with a proper food bank, restaurant, meeting 
facilities, job training centre, and much more.

            can you help Kamel and his team secure the magical place they 
built – and give this community a chance to rise?

            l’Après M is a beacon of hope and positive change for this 
neighbourhood in Marseille – and for communities across the globe.

            In just the first five weeks after l’Après M opened, they served 
no less than 100,000 people food parcels. And during the height of the 
pandemic l’Après M saved many more, giving them food, support and a sense of 
purpose.

            But Kamel and his heroic team wanted to do more. They worked 
with firemen, farmers and local groups to extend l’Après M’s reach and 
distribute food – and their powerful message – to surrounding 
neighbourhoods.

            Now the story of their work is spreading and inspiring movements 
worldwide. They even helped McDonald's workers in the U.S. win a $15/hour 
minimum wage – a fight that had been dragging on for nearly a decade!

            This place is special,

            l’Après M is a symbol that something bad can be turned into 
something beautiful – if enough people come together to do it.

            The need for l’Après M is greater than ever...can you chip in 
right now to help protect this vital food bank and the beating heart of this 
neighbourhood?
