Racial Healing through the Food System
Please join us to build a collective vision for healing and action

Intensive Leadership Facilitation Training (ILFT)

Sponsored by Growing Food and Justice for All Initiative’s Chicago Local Empowerment Group (LEG) and Growing Power, Inc

We will be discussing recent challenges and opportunities in the food movement world both from a local, in your community, perspective and from the national and international food sovereignty arena. Designed to build a community of leaders who are enabled to take action and provide intensive training and dialogue that facilitates anti-racism. With the hope that leaders take food justice actions in our own programs and neighborhoods.

We will explore:

examples of institutional and structural racism and how it operates;
practical applications of facilitating change and becoming a change agent, including some personal identification to understand the kind of facilitator you are
opportunities to explore the individual role in the anti-racism process of your work with the opportunity to strategize with others to develop an action plan.

**Details regarding registration, logistics and other details will be coming!! Please spread the word and mark your calendar.
