Why: To raise money for urban and rural farmers and food justice organizers to go to the Growing Food and Justice for All Initiative gathering, Hosted by Growing Power, October 30th. www.growingfoodandjustice.org
Admission:$20-$30 (sliding scale). Includes camping at the Wassaic Community Farm next door. Discounts for farmers, Wassaic locals, and for those who bought a train ticket to get there. This will be a great summer event for everyone, and an opportunity to get to know each other and meet the folks from the Food Security Roundtable, convening our next northeast regional farming and food justice conference the next day at Wassaic Community Farm.
In keeping with our desire to promote urban/rural collaboration to establish local food sovereignty throughout the Northeast we are raising money for some farmers and activists to go to Milwaukee, WI for the annual Growing Food and Justice For All Initiative. The funding will be earmarked for at least half people of color and an even spread between urban and rural folks. They will have a chance to spend time together, to meet people doing food justice work around the country, and to learn some skills to help us build the world we all want to live in.
