As we examine our programmatic roots and history our team has begun to identify a series of commitments that we are determined to uphold. These commitments include direct actions we can take as a program and critical thinking practices we can use to be continuously reflective and adaptive with our work.
Our "ask" for you is feedback, reactions, or ideas you may have regarding our commitments, which you will find below.
(1) Continuously interrogate our own role and deepen our understanding of racism as it shows up in the systems we are hoping to improve (food systems, education systems, agriculture systems, etc).
(2) Encourage an equity lens among our partners and raise awareness through our communications (e.g. e-newsletter, website).
(3) Invest our staff time and resources in the development of culturally relevant materials (e.g. bilingual materials, cultural recipes, cultural celebrations).
(4) Set goals for new partnerships in BIPOC and Native American-led organizations and communities
As a result of your feedback, we hope to harness the energy and knowledge of our partners to create a movement towards a just and equitable food system.
