This summer 3 South Seattle youth and one adult ally traveled to Philadelphia, PA for the 13th Annual Rooted In Community (RIC) Youth Lead Urban Farming and Food Justice Conference hosted by Urban Nutrition Initiative (UNI) to represent Seattle and the PNW! With Nova HS student Donte Johnson and recent Middle College graduate Aman Hidalgo Watson representing Cultivating Radical Action, Vitality, and Education (CRAVE) @ and recent Nova HS graduate and future Evergreen University student Tammy Do representing both CRAVE and Food Empowerment, Education, and Sustainability Team (FEEST) and Social HeARTistry Educators director Stephany Hazelrigg, the PNW held it down with all these amazing farmers, organizers, educators, and community leaders! This heirloom volunteer Seattle crew made powerful impressions and creative and safe spaces to grow and glow in Philly amid and alongside 120 other youth and about 50 adult allies...all who are organizing around food justice issues in their communities representing over 40 organizations from around the country to draft the Youth Food Bill of Rights!!
