FSNE Winter Series #2: Building Multi-Racial Movements for Equity & Justice

Please join us for the second event in FSNE’s 2022 Winter Series, bringing regional food system participants and aligned friends together to dig into our shared work, learn together, get inspired, and deepen our connections to one another. Please come for part of all of this event.

Hear from our special guests about how we can advance racial equity and wellbeing in these challenging times, what opportunities exist to advance equitable belonging and to make change across food, farming, and fishing sectors, and how we can best direct our collective efforts.

The first part of this event (10:00 am to noon) will feature Dr. Eddie Moore, Jr. and Debby Irving, inspiration for FSNE’s version of the Racial Equity Challenge. Our “keychord” panel will also include special guests Katya Fels Smith and Tanya Tucker from the Full Frame Initiative in which you’ll gain valuable insights for your own work.

The second part of this event (12:30 to 2:30 pm) will be a participatory skill-building workshop led by Curtis Ogden of the Interaction Institute for Social Change and Karen Spiller, UNH Haas Professor, FSNE Ambassador, and principle in KAS Consulting. The workshop will focus on tools and processes to advance work for racial equity and equitable wellbeing.

As we grapple with pandemic disruptions and political polarization, reckon with emboldened white supremacy, and face ever-growing challenges from the climate crisis, the importance of standing firm in a commitment to racial equity and justice in our food system is growing.

• What does racial equity look like in our communities and institutions? 
• How can we advance multi-racial movements for justice and wellbeing? 
• What are some of the opportunities we can lean into now?

This session will be held in English and will be recorded for later viewing. Facilitation by Karen Spiller and Curtis Ogden with support from the FSNE backbone staff at the UNH Sustainability Institute.
