Building Diverse and Multicultural Alliances for Justice through the Food System
Food for Thought! Frederick Douglas quoted:
“If, there is not struggle, there is not progress! What we are about to participate in will require the participants to struggle in creating a model for leadership in dismantling racism.”
Overview – We will learn how the dynamics of personal, cultural, institutional manifestations of structural racism operate in our lives, society and world.
Finding a common analysis: Racism-Deconstructed
Ø Understanding White supremacy and privilege
Ø Understanding Internalized Oppression
Other questions to be explored
Ø How do we each experience racism?
Ø Is diversity enough? Why is? Why is it not?
Ø How can you integrate anti-racism principles in your project/business/program/institution?

Recent graduate of GP Commercial Urban Agriculture Training 2010, Jackie Hunt and Marilyn Barber took a few moments during their April training to share their story:
It’s Fall harvest time , so let’s get our natural good food to all community. But don’t stop here, let’s start planting now for the winter and spring. Good, natural food should be available year round. Let’s continue to grow the Good Food Revolution. - Will Allen
Year round production is possible!
Inside of Hoop House with snow, vegetation are covered.
We do it here in Wisconsin, so it can be done anywhere. Growing Power has received many inquiries for advice on our food systems and techniques. As much as we would like to, we are unable to answer all of the requests individually, we hope those who ask will be able to attend one of our workshops sessions. The last one remaining for the year is Oct 29th and will be conducted by Will Allen. More information here.
