Summary

In the imaginations of some folks, movements towards food sovereignty live primarily in idyllic community gardens, small-scale organic farms, local farmers’ markets, and farm-to-table restaurants. But the work of sovereignty lives within spaces of deeper complexity – spaces woven together by the seeds of joys, suffering, commitments, creativity, and resilience. Derrick McDonald and Shephali Patel call in the stories and voices that remind us that sovereignty lives in our past, present, and futures.  --- Learn more and support Black Star Farmers @ blackstarfarmers.org --- Learn more about Food Culture Collective @ https://foodculture.org and HEAL Food Alliance @ https://healfoodalliance.org Take action with HEAL on the U.S. Farm Bill: https://healfoodalliance.org/farmbill/ --- Derrick McDonald:  https://www.hackerarchitects.com/derrick-mcdonald StoryMap of the initial seeding of Black Lives Memorial Garden in Cal Anderson  Coverage on 2021 Black Lives Matter protests and CHOP/CHAZ:  https://www.democracynow.org/2020/6/11/seattle_activists_create_autonomous_zone_near https://crosscut.com/focus/2020/11/seattles-cal-anderson-park-microcosm-national-upheaval Watch the documentary “As Long as the Rivers Run” to learn about Bernie Whitebear and a legacy of indigenous land and food sovereignty movements in the Pacific Northwest Overview of Daybreak Star and the Fort Lawton occupation:  https://www.seattle.gov/cityarchives/exhibits-and-education/online-exhibits/daybreak-star-indian-cultural-center Omari Garrett and the occupation of the Colman School Overview:  https://www.historylink.org/File/8602 A complex history:   https://www.seattlemet.com/arts-and-culture/2008/12/1008-feat-divided https://africanamericanheritagemuseumandculturalcenter.org/synopsis/ Stay connected with Shephali at shephali.earth Recommended Reading List inspired by Derrick Spill: Scenes of Black Feminist Fugitivity by Alexis Pauline Gumbs Woman on the Edge of Time by Marge Piercy Parable of the Sower by Octavia Butler Kindred by Octavia Butler The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K.
