Food Justice Poster (Set of 3)
$30

I recently collaborated with Bryant Terry, author of the just released "Vegan Soul Kitchen", on a set of posters dealing with food justice! We tackled three themes in the set of posters. The first poster is about Urban Gardening in Urban Communities. The green economy continues to be one of the most racially segregated sectors of the U.S. Economy. Therefore, it was important for us to address the theme of Greening our Communities.

The second poster is about men of color learning how to cook. So often I see youth programs in the hood that only deal with teaching youth how to garden. It's also vital to teach our young people how to cook and be self-sufficient. Particularly youth of color who live in communities with little or no access to healthy, nutritious food.

The final poster deals with the theme of Urban Deserts, meaning urban areas in which low income people do not have access to healthy food or where people have to get into their cars to get food. In these areas, there is usually an abundance of processed foods and fast food. The issues of food is really about a war on our bodies.

The set of three posters has received lots of attention from the left media, including UTNE Reader and Colorlines magazine.
