Growing Community Resilience will take place Wednesday, September 30th from 4-6PM CT on Zoom. This event is an opportunity for community building through anti-racism and food justice work during the time of COVID-19.
We will continue our discussions about land reparations and models for collective land ownership. We are all coming to the table with different experiences, expertise, skillsets, insights, and resources, and this will be a space for us to bring what we have to the table in order to continue identifying avenues of collective action. This event will involve identity-based break out sessions for focused readings and sharing, followed by a coming together to discuss key takeaways and next steps we can take together and within our respective communities. Please have the following articles read before the meeting. If you are unable to complete the readings, no worries! Your experience and insight alone is worth bringing to the table.
