People’s Grocery, Alameda Point Collaborative/Growing Youth Project, Berkeley Youth Alternatives, Farm Fresh Choice, Literacy for Environmental Justice, and OBUGS, did a joint event on July 31. As the culmination to the Urban Rootz Food and Justice Camp, the youth put together a presentation/outreach event that took place in front of Oakland City Hall from 12-1. The youth performed a skit about local food, dressed up in vegetable costumes, handed out flyers, read poems, made 6-10 posters with great info on them about buying local, food justice, and the state of agriculture, and gave out yummy local produce from some of our gardens.
