Understanding Joint Struggles — Food Sovereignty from Turtle Island to Palestine, Sudan, and Beyond

About the Series

Advancing Justice in the Community Food Sector is a series of four workshops designed for folks — especially BIPOC — working in community-based programs and organizations that revolve around food. Working in these spaces, it's crucial to have the latest tools, knowledge, and skills to build pathways for professional career advancement.

Through this workshop series, participants will learn and engage with subject matter around: BIPOC solidarity across the non-profit sector, storytelling as a tool for impact, and more.

About this Workshop

Understanding Joint Struggles — Food Sovereignty from Turtle Island to Palestine, Sudan, and Beyond with Nisrin Elamin and Yasmeen El-Hasan

Communities worldwide are fighting for food sovereignty and self-determination – from Indigenous movements here on Turtle Island to struggles in Palestine, Sudan, and beyond. This webinar will explore how these deeply interconnected fights for food justice hold shared roots in resistance against settler-colonialism and imperialism.

Together, we’ll discuss how people working in the nonprofit sector can take meaningful action: building coalitions, supporting grassroots movements, and mobilizing resources in solidarity rather than charity. Join us to learn how local and global movements for food justice can strengthen one another in the pursuit of collective liberation.

Priority Ticketing

As part of our ongoing commitment to equity and justice, we are prioritizing access to these workshops for Black and Indigenous people and people of colour (BIPOC).

Priority tickets for these workshops will be made available for BIPOC individuals and BIPOC-led organizations and grassroots community groups who do not have access to large operating budgets to cover the costs of staff training. A limited number of General Admission tickets will also be available, and we will open up a waitlist as needed.
