FEBRUARY 19th: Amp Up! Summit
FEBRUARY 25: Northeast Food and Justice Summit
April 1st: Power Shift 11
April 20th: Anniversary of the Gulf
Stop and consider how you are going to be a part of each and everyone of these events. The Food and Climate Justice Movements have only gotten bigger every year in the past decade. And the problems have largely gotten worse- yet the progress that there has been have come from Social Pressure.
The Gulf Tragedy, the failure of the UNFCCC, the rising empire of Natural Gas and Hydrofracking, the development of the XL Pipeline and the Tar Sands and the continued affects these have had predominantly on communities of low income and color. Not to mention the affects Fracking has on Sustainable Food. But we have held up Fracking in NY, we have slowed down MTR, there have been Environmental Justice Victories and more community gardens. This year it's really going to turn around. This year we are going to really make the country think again about the state of Fossil Fuels and Local/Sustainable Agriculture and what an Organic, Just, Sustainable Society looks like, sounds like, tastes like, dances like, and grows like.
