Description:
To truly grasp the systems and policies that shape land, food, and water use in the U.S., we must dive into the historical context that has shaped these frameworks. This understanding is essential for crafting effective solutions for communities. We invite you to participate in our monthly webinar featuring Jordan Curry Carter, an influential healing justice practitioner dedicated to food justice. With an intersectional approach, Jordan draws on the wisdom of elders, ancestors, and the natural world to inform his work. As a former Director of Power Building and board member of the Instigator at Diverse City Fund, a prominent family foundation in Washington, D.C., Jordan will highlight pivotal moments in U.S. history that relate to land use, food, and water. He will reveal how these historical events have paved the way for the inequities that minority communities face in our society today.
