Social Justice Salon: Equitable Eating

Join us for Equitable Eating, Solid Ground's 4th Social Justice Salon!

How can we build a more just resilient local food system?

Between bare grocery store shelves and skyrocketing food costs, the last few years have made it abundantly clear just how much we rely on a fragile global system that treats food as a commodity instead of a basic human right. What if we had a local food system capable of resisting the forces of global trade, while sustaining both food producers and those who now struggle to get the healthy, culturally appropriate food they deserve? 

We welcome you to a community conversation with a panel of food justice advocates, Solid Ground program staff, and other community leaders. Panelists include:

• Laura Emmerson, Community Food Educator at Solid Ground's Community Food Education program
• Lisa Chen, Food Equity Fund Manager for the City of Seattle
• Devan "Dev" Rogers, Communications and Development Manager at FEEST Seattle
• Carmen Smith, Executive Director at White Center Food Bank
• Yamila Sterling-Baker, Food System Support Program Manager at Solid Ground
• Hannah Wilson, Farm Manager at Black Farmers Collective
• Christina Wong, Director of Public Policy and Advocacy at Northwest Harvest

Our panel will be followed by a Q&A session about what's already being done to create a more resilient food system here in King County and how you can support the innovative programs in place across our region.

Tickets are available on a sliding scale from $0-10. Please reach out to events@solid-ground.org with any questions or concerns. We hope to see you there!
