Food First Monthly Meeting – Climate Change and Food Sovereignty

Everyone is welcome to attend Food First’s monthly community meeting the third Wednesday of every month at 6:30pm in La Peña’s lounge!

This month’s topic is: Climate Change and Food Sovereignty in the U.S.

To address the root causes of hunger, we must address climate change. That’s why we were on the ground at the People’s Climate March this Saturday, April 29th with the US Food Sovereignty Alliance.  Join several western region US Food Sovereignty Alliance members for a report-back on the marches, analysis on the intersections of food, climate, and worker justice, and next steps regionally and beyond.

Panelists include Food First’s Ahna Kruzic, Urban Tilth‘s Doria Robinson of Richmond, CA, and Community to Community Development’s Edgar Franks of Bellingham, Washington.

ABOUT FOOD FIRST:

Food First envisions a world in which all people have access to healthy, ecologically produced, and culturally appropriate food. After 40 years of analysis of the global food system, we know that making this vision a reality involves more than technical solutions—it requires political transformation. That’s why Food First supports activists, social movements, alliances, and coalitions working for systemic change. Our work—including action-oriented research, publications, projects and Food Sovereignty Tours—gives you the tools to understand the global challenges, build your local movement, and engage with the global movement for food sovereignty.
