Creating a local distribution network for fresh produce in small markets! It's been interesting to find the flash points between what's seasonal, culturally in demand, and affordable in our regional foodshed. Now in six stores, the next phase of the program involves ramping up quantity, and hosting community pop-ups with local chefs, growers, and educators. Ultimately, a piece of the puzzle in ending food apartheid.

So some basic questions. Who will it help? How will it help? What if it doesn’t? Who signs the treaty? Who gets the reparations? Who can sit on the Voice? Sounds like one of those restaurants where you pay $200 a head not knowing how many courses, what food is to be served and what size portions. Just trust me, it’s good value!!

Attention ATC community- “Bad actors” out there spam people claiming to sell lists of members from associations. This is a common thing that happens to all kinds of organizations and attendees at events. When you get such an email- they did not get access to our lists- but figure out “info” addresses and other guesses at emails. Sometimes they use your website contact form to reach you. ATC does not sell our lists. But lately some of our members are getting emails from “Data Group Leads” claiming to be selling lists to our members. Ignor these. And do not reply (or they know they have a real email and will send you many more offers). For ATC and all other organizations you belong to…. Remember that any communication that seems “not right” is a bad actor. And there is not really ways to stop them. All non-profits just need to keep educating members that these are not real offers sponsored by the group being named. John Oliver has a segment last week about what big busienss these scams are - it’s more about personal scams… but not will make you rethink every email you get from someone you don’t know https://lnkd.in/gwa_7cge

In light of recent, vocal protests from a coalition of Palestinian & allied student groups, staff, & faculty, University of Michigan has drafted a “Disruptive Activity Policy” & is seeking input from UM constituents: https://lnkd.in/gfDJHbgQ Please review the policy! If you’re UM-affiliated & have concerns as I do, sign the letter of opposition here: https://lnkd.in/gcH-M2w4 I wrote a letter to President Ono, sharing my concerns/questions around the policy: “Protestors are people whose voices are not being heard; whose needs are not being met, by what they perceive as the processes available to them. Does our UM community know how to get their concerns heard, and are there adequate pathways for the core constituents (students & employees) of the university to have a voice? In reviewing the "Disruptive Activity Policy", it makes very clear the type of behavior the University does not want to see & will not condone. What is not clear, nor even mentioned, is how to avoid getting to the stage of needing to protest in the first place. Maybe proactive steps to engage in dialogue with the University are outlined somewhere & I’ve missed them; that's possible! Centering the compliant behaviors that you do encourage would be very helpful, as right now the draft policy feels strict, defensive, & punitive. It centers the needs & comfort of the celebrators, the lecture-goers, the concert-attenders, but it doesn’t take into consideration the needs of those so crushed, so devastated, that they feel their best option is to interrupt a University function in order to gain the attention of you, the Administration, the Regents. I strongly suggest that you add or reference the conflict resolution process that you want students groups/individuals to pursue, into the "Disruptive Activity Policy". If you're going to cite the code of conduct & point people to how they'll be disciplined, it's equally important (if not more so) to point people to the processes they should engage in instead. If folks don't know how to engage in a positive, productive way, they are likely to engage in a disruptive or negative way. I think this policy should be reframed & renamed, with the wholistic community's needs in mind. Responsiveness to concerns raised in this manner is key. If minoritized/oppressed identity groups have requested meetings with the Administration or are raising concerns & feel that they are falling on closed ears, protest seems like the next logical step when no other clear pathways are outlined. The genocide in Palestine is horrific. By the protests & actions of our Palestinian students, staff, faculty & allies, I can tell they don't feel our University hears, sees or understands them. They perceive UM to be silent on the fate of the Palestinian people; I imagine that feels soul-crushing.” #protest #peacefulprotest #raiseyourvoice #democracy #endgenocide #goodtrouble #ceasefirenow

Sample letter to send to your MP regarding your disgust with food prices Loblaw Companies Limited . We ALL have a role in bringing change. Letter to MP Please feel free to use the following letter to send to your local MP You can use this site to find your local MP: https://lnkd.in/gcUpwbEY [Your Name] [Your Address] [City, Province, Postal Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number] April 23, 2024 [MP's Name] House of Commons Ottawa, Ontario Canada K1A 0A6 Dear [MP's Name], I am writing to express my deep concern about the escalating grocery prices in Canada. As a constituent, I urge you to take a more bold and proactive stand to address this critical issue that affects the daily lives of Canadians across the country. The recent surge in grocery prices has put a significant strain on families, especially those with lower incomes. Basic necessities like fruits, vegetables, and proteins have become increasingly unaffordable, making it difficult for many Canadians to provide nutritious meals for their families. This situation has also placed a heavy burden on local food banks, which are struggling to meet the increased demand for their services as more individuals and families turn to them for assistance. I urge you to push for concrete actions to address this issue, such as: -Conducting a thorough investigation into the factors driving up grocery prices, including supply chain issues, market competition, and pricing strategies of major grocery chains. -Implementing measures to increase transparency in pricing and ensure fair pricing practices across the industry. -Exploring options to support local food producers and retailers to provide affordable and accessible food options for Canadians. It is crucial that the government takes decisive action to address the root causes of rising grocery prices and ensures that all Canadians have access to affordable and nutritious food. I urge you to use your position to advocate for policies that will alleviate the burden of high grocery prices on Canadians. Your leadership on this issue is critical, and I hope to see meaningful progress in the near future. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your response. Sincerely, Lorraine Fay #Canada 🇨🇦 #lowincome #foodinsecurity #grocerystore #boycott Time Liberal Party of Canada • Parti Libéral du Canada grew a backbone

Why are European farmers protesting? Not all of them are protesting for the same reason, but the background of the protests is indeed shared: making a living from agriculture in Europe is becoming increasingly difficult. Farmers are not frustrated because European Commission is implementing restrictive cultivation measures. They are frustrated because political measures are only legislating one part of the chain. European governments are creating a system that dictates how farmers should cultivate, but not where and at what price large EU supermarkets buy. And thus, Europe is increasingly feeding itself less from European farmers. The Green Deal must be integrated throughout every step of the food supply chain.
