RACE, PLACE, n' TASTE: Dismantling Oppression in the Food System
Part of the Food n' Justice Workshop series at the North Oakland Farmers' Market
co-sponsored by Planting Justice, People's Grocery, and Phat Beets Produce

Part one of a three part series on Dismantling Oppressions in the Food System, this free two hour workshop will explore how race, place and power shape our industrial food system and influence the health and well being of our communities. The workshop will be rooted in historical food justice projects born in North Oakland, such as the Free Breakfast Program of the Black Panther Party, and will utilize exercises in Theater of the Oppressed, to explore and embody our visions of personal and community healing. A great way to build relationships, have fun and work together towards taking action in community! 

Part two of this workshop series will be held on Oct 8th at the North Oakland Farmers' Market in celebration of Indigenous People's Day with a workshop themed "Decolonize your Diet!: Exploring Culinary Colonialism". Part three will be announced in coming weeks and will be presented in November.
