Roots of Resilience Community of Practice Kicks Off!

On January 23, Community Food Strategies team members and eleven food coalitions gathered on Zoom for the Roots of Resilience Community of Practice (ROR CoP) Kickoff—an 18-month journey focused on progressive food systems, racial equity, and community impact.

Cohort members shared which ROR CoP values resonated most with them, emphasizing how racial justice, equity, solidarity, collective care, policy, and advocacy are deeply interconnected. Through this discussion, the group established a shared understanding of how they want to engage in this work together.
