CHECK OUT this incredible resource and guide for addressing and dismantling racism in the food system, galvanizing the movement for land and racial justice, written by the illustrious folks at Soul Fire Farm.

In her words, this "is a great resource for considering how we can move towards food sovereignty, centering BIPOC communities.
