INTERVIEW

In this episode of Catalyst Radio we hear from two visiting speakers in town recently as part of local nonprofit Our Kitchen Table’s convenings on the subject of Food Justice – the effort to ensure all have a safe, secure food supply.

First it’s Lila Cabbil of Detroit, who is the President Emeritus of the Rosa Parks Institute. Cabbil facilitated the discussion “Are You a Missionary or Ally? -- Accountability and Anti-Racist Organizing for Food Access and Justice.”

And then it’s LaDonna Redmond, who has worked in the Chicago area, as well as nationally. Redmond presented on the subject “Historical Trauma and Food Justice.

We reached both women by phone.

 

MUSIC

Music featured in this edition of Catalyst Radio is from Corey Harris, his 1991 release Greens From The Garden.
