Food Sovereignty Forum

In partnership with colleagues from the U.S. territories, we coordinated a first-ever panel event moderated by Amy Goodman at New York University on how Caribbean and Pacific Island women are leading on the issue of food self sufficiency. We were able to convene diasporas and allies with the support of the Fund for the City of New York, Lisette Nieves, and the New York Women’s Foundation.
