The Commons Brooklyn

Two-part session:
April 23 and April 30
10AM - 2PM
We will meet in open discussions among community members to foster an anti-racist alliance in Brooklyn’s food justice and sustainability movement.

Our agri-food system can’t be considered sustainable while it:
*yields structural inequities of food access and quality for different consumers based on race
*endures commercially through the routine labor exploitation of people mostly of color.

These sessions will address head-on the nature of, and reasons for, broad food-resource allocations that favor white participants and exclude people of color from fair access to good sustenance and land. Our focus is on solutions and change. We’ll endeavor to form cross-community strategies for dismantling and undoing racism specifically as it exists in the food-ways on which we all depend.

Moderators: Asantewaa Harris and Jeff Heehs

$20 per person covers the space and food for both sessions. Light lunch served.

Limited to 20 participants.
