We are so fortunate to have the opportunity to grow food for our community. We are blessed with access to land, tools, infrastructure, able bodies, and help of our community to make this happen. Many others are not so fortunate. With everything that is going on right now, we have to take pause and reflect. Reflect on how cruel and unjust our system is and humans can be to each other. Our hearts ache for the black lives lost. Our hearts ache for those less fortunate who are stranded in poverty and without basic human rights.
We have to educate ourselves. We have to speak up and band together. We have to support everywhere we can.
We'd like to share a few resources to educate ourselves and each other. Please check them out, pass it on and talk with others about these things that are usually swept under the rug or ignored.
Anti-Racism resources to check out (Document compiled by Sarah Sophie Flicker, Alyssa Klein in May 2020). Including pod-casts, books, articles, videos, etc. Click this link: bit.ly/ANTIRACISMRESOURCES
