The Growing Food and Justice for All Initiative is a new initiative aimed at dismantling racism and empowering low-income and communities of color through sustainable and local agriculture. This comprehensive network views dismantling racism as a core principal which brings together social change agents from diverse sectors working to bring about new, healthy and sustainable food systems and supporting and building multicultural leadership in impoverished communities throughout the world. The vision for this initiative is to establish a powerful network of individuals, organizations and community based entities all working toward a food secure and just world. 

This gathering will include:

• Intensive anti-racism trainings for individuals and organizations interested in becoming trainers.
• Workshops and facilitated discussions on social justice, community food systems, dismantling racism 101.
• Affinity sessions offered by GFJI members.
• Networking and discussions.
• Committee meetings and GFJI strategy sessions.
• Tours to the Black Holocaust museum, Growing Power and other Milwaukee area community food system projects.
• Delicious local and culturally appropriate food.
• Variety of lodging options, that are low cost including local home stays.
• And much more to be planned!
