Food Justice: Celebrate Earth Day with Vegan Brunch and Earth Justice Talk

This Earth Day, join us in celebrating the planet and its resources with a day of food, earth justice, and community clean-up. On April 22nd from 12 PM to 4 PM, we will be hosting an event that brings together vegan, environmental, health and food justice advocates for a resource fair. We invite everyone to come out for brunch and food samples at 12 PM followed by a talk on Food and Earth Justice at 1 PM. Afterward, we will have a community clean-up from 2 PM to 4 PM.

The 1 PM Food and Earth Justice Talk will be in person and virtual. Here's the link to register for the virtual event: https://streamyard.com/watch/D5Ux5pUhAZjR

At the resource fair, you can learn more about sustainable practices and how to protect the environment through initiatives like planting trees or using reusable containers. Our guest speakers will discuss how food can be used as a tool for social change while providing practical tips on how to make more mindful decisions when it comes to food choices. The talk will also touch on topics such as reducing food waste, eating seasonally, supporting local farmers/businesses, and minimizing our carbon footprint.

The day will end with a community clean-up event where volunteers can help pick up litter in public spaces around the area. 2pm-4pm Environmental Cleanup: https://form.jotform.com/230396646524158

At the end of the day, we want everyone who participates in this event to leave feeling empowered knowing that they made an impact on their community while celebrating Earth Day!
