Register for a Food Justice History Walk at Wesleyan University w/ FRESH New London!

You are invited to A Food Justice History Walk w/ FRESH New London on Wednesday December 4, 12-1pm, which tells the people’s history of the United States’ food system from inception to present. It is not comprehensive, but a living document (consistently updated) of some of the most prominent historic events that built up the food system (that is not broken, but working perfectly the way it was designed) wherein those who pick the food are not the ones who benefit from eating the food–from Native Genocide & American Slavery all the way to Hurricane Maria.

FRESH New London’s mission is to dismantle systemic oppression and work towards food equity through local agriculture, community, and youth organizing. FRESH focuses on urban agriculture, youth leadership development, and community engagement to create lasting local impacts. If you’d like to learn more about food justice or how you can contribute to FRESH New London’s cause, we strongly encourage you to attend the event and share this information with others in your community who may be interested.

This event is free and open to the public. Lunch is included. Please register here. Feel free to contact Malana Rogers-Bursen (rrogersburse@wesleyan.edu) with any questions.
