Food Justice (a community discussion) Tonight at Russell Library!

The community is invited to come and discuss food in all its political, economic and ethical aspects in the Hubbard Room tonight, November 8th, at 6:30pm. 

Issues of food justice will be introduced. From basic survival needs to status-producing elegance, food defines our culture and our history. Our relationships with food are both personal and communal. In this country, we exist within a landscape in which food – 'something that nourishes, sustains, or supplies’ -- is a tool used to promote systemic injustice.
The discussion will be facilitated by Jeff Hush, the founder of Food & Movement Therapy (famtusa.org) working to bring clean food, water, and energy to all Americans.

Participants may wish to watch the TEDx talk by Winona Laduke entitled Seeds of Our Ancestors, Seeds of Life on YouTube at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pHNlel72eQc  or the TEDx talk by LaDonna Redmond entitled Food + Justice = Democracy: LaDonna Redmond at TEDxManhattan 2013 on YouTube at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydZfSuz-Hu8
The videos will also be shown at the beginning of the discussion.

Drop in; no registration.
