The Race, Food and Justice Conference will will highlight and explore the grassroots approach behind Growing Power’s Growing Food and Justice for All Initiative. Building on the momentum of the Rid-All Green Partnership Project and the robust local and national food movement, the goals of this conference are simple:
1) to create a space for dialogue and discussion about social justice issues and strategies that seek to disrupt inequity,
2) see how the history of farming, culture and race factor into economics, land use policies, land ownership, health, jobs, and community programs,
3) expose and discuss decisions that impact our most vulnerable communities.
