About this Event

Finding Food Security in Insecure Times: A Roundtable Conversation

Join food producers, community organizers, and policy advocates who are building viable food systems. The conversation will center around three questions…

  1. In these precarious times, what does solidarity look like, given that similarly aligned groups may have to compete for scarce resources?
  2. What are the best practices for protecting vulnerable people in growing spaces from being from being targeted and detained?
  3. How do we advocate for the dismantling of Pr*son labor in our food systems, and advocate for an abolitionist approach for the future?

Including interludes of spoken word performances by Dior St. Hillaire.
