Hello,

 

I am writing you to extend an invitation to propose a workshop for the Cultivating Food Justice Event that will be happening in the community of City Heights in San Diego (Fairmount Ave and Wightman St. area) on April 9th and 10th. Our mission with this event is to gather the diverse San Diego / Tijuana region together to work towards creating an equitable and sustainable food system for all people through education, networking and direct action. The event will consist of workshops, rountdtable discussions, two local keynote speakers, entertainment and food!

 

We are looking for people to facilitate workshops/roundtables/talks on topics related to food justice in order to strengthen the impact of our even in the San Diego-Tijuana communities. Here are some examples of the broad themes your topic may fall under:

 

  • Growing your own food
  • Food Government Policy
  • Cooking and Nutrition
  • Access to Food
  • Food Budgeting
  • Informed Food Buying
  • Organic Food
  • Art and Food/ Food and Culture
  • Food Activism
  • Farm Worker Justice
  • San Diego Food Community
  • Racism and the Food System
  • Sustainable Agriculture
  • Creating Alternatives to the Food System
  •  

    Of course you are not limited to these themes! We hope that you will be interested in being part of these critical discussions on food and social justice and that you will propose a workshop for this event.  The workshop form is available at  https://spreadsheets0.google.com/viewform?formkey=dDNWSi1fVXhlU1Q1dktoa0xRaTZXVlE6MQ#gid=0.
