Are you interested in social justice or food justice?
Then you should come to Food Justice Activism: Through a Social Justice Lense workshop!
This March 11th at Aiken 110 from 6-8pm, the speaker kat yang-stevens will be putting on an intersectional food justice workshop!
This workshop will use an intersectional and anti-colonial framework to develop and deepen understandings and intrinsic connections between food systems and environmental justice with a focus on indigenous communities and communities of color. Workshop will be interactive and provide participants with tangible steps toward incorporating new-found understandings into their daily praxis.
Through an intersectional and anti-colonial framework, kat will answer questions such as…
- What and who is an activist in terms of food justice?
- How does gentrification impact access to food?
- How has chattel slavery and its impact and legacy on Black people in the so-called US affected Black people’s ability to access food?
- How has colonialism affected food systems?
- How can YOU get involved?
