The fight for food justice: A conversation with The Abolition garden
November 20th
6:00 pm MST | FREE | via Zoom
Join us for a virtual conversation exploring the intersections of food, language, and disability justice. Together, we’ll reflect on the challenges many face in accessing enough food and imagine ways to co-create worlds rooted in care, love, and liberation for all.
