CSU Community Work

For those of you who didn't get Jessica's email:

Using food as a tool to organize communities of color around issues of
access, self-reliance, nutrition, and the political economy of food

community.

CSU's magic is incredible-- they have created abundant gardens out of pavement
(both literally and metaphorically).
