Thank you for taking the time to engage with the National Black Food & Justice Alliance’s Food is Political Bingo offering, a game designed to support organizers in politicizing their communities' understanding, relationships, and connection to food.
This organizing tool helps us name, identify, and, ultimately, transform the food apartheid we are subjected to. With shared understanding, we can help our neighbors build toward food sovereignty by shifting their commitments, capital, and power to one another.
Black and Brown families deserve to be nourished and sustained. What that requires is that we get organized.
