Food, Justice and Sustainability

In July, 2011, Michelle Obama rolled out a plan to bring fresh, healthy to low income communities across the United States. The plan is to partner with major food retailers like Walmart to bring affordable, healthy food to neighborhoods that have come to be known as food deserts. But food justice activists are calling for solutions that come from communities, not from corporations. Special thanks to Top Ten Social. Featuring: Amie Breeze Harper, editor of “Sistah Vegan” blog; Brahm Amadi, CEO of People’s Community Market; Raj Patel, author of “The Value of Nothing”; Nikki Henderson, director of People’s Grocery.

We’re not going to stand for it. Are you?

You don’t bury your head in the sand. You know as well as we do what we’re facing as a country, as a people, and as a global community. Here at Truthout, we’re gearing up to meet these threats head on, but we need your support to do it: We still need to raise $14,000 to ensure we can keep publishing independent journalism that doesn’t shy away from difficult — and often dangerous — topics.

We can do this vital work because unlike most media, our journalism is free from government or corporate influence and censorship. But this is only sustainable if we have your support. If you like what you’re reading or just value what we do, will you take a few seconds to contribute to our work?
