I was recently a guest speaker at this event in February, Strengthening the roots: Food and Justice Convergence, in Santa Cruz, CA. It was an event organized by the Real Food Challenge. Between this event and one put on in Montana, these summits:

*Brought together over 300 students, community members, and other real food activists to learn, connect, and take action for real food.

*Connected 50 SCHOOLS to the Real Food Challenge network and campaign.

* Featured 35 WORKSHOPS AND PANELS ranging from regional food sovereignty to popular education to campus cooperatives.

* Celebrated the real food community with 2 CONCERTS–both planned and impromptu.

I was honored to be  a part of this movement and will continue to support it!
