We first covered the trauma of Food Insecurity in the thick of the pandemic, more than three years ago. Access to food impacts your wellbeing more than anything else. Our community dove into the drivers of hunger and poverty and worked to identify and dismantle the structures that kept people hungry. Like every other trauma, inequality and unequal access to resources are at the center of the issue. Casey will report on all that has been done on the local and national level, and all that we still need to do. Her approach is grounded in race equity and practical solutions. All who attend will be proud and inspired to see the work a small group of committed citizens can do to change the world!
