Racial Equity in the Food System Gathering – Wed, June 25th
The PVGrows Racial Equity in the Food System Working Group invites you to:
Racial Equity in the Food System Gathering
Wednesday, June 25th from 4:00 – 6:00 PM
Nuestras Raices
329 Main Street, Holyoke, MA 01040
The Racial Equity in the Food System Working Group is committed to deepening our shared understanding of racism, how it shows up in the food system; and why food justice & racial equity are at the core of creating a healthy food system. Join us to share/learn about the Undoing Racism Workshop organized in partnership with the Undoing Racism Collective (UROC) in May 2014, and to think together about how we can continue this work.
Light refreshments will be served. Please park on the street or in the parking lot across from the Nuestras Raices office on Cabot Street.
