Structural Racism and the Food System Webinar
(this took place on Thursday, March 27th)
Sponsored by the Jessie Smith Noyes Foundation

Maya Wiley, founding director of the Center for Social Inclusion, a national policy intermediary organization whose mission is to build opportunity for everyone by dismantling structural racism, will present a web-based seminar exploring structural racism and the food system.

Structural racism is defined as the arrangements between our institutions, policies and practices that isolate and exclude communities of color and weaken our democracy. These arrangements help account for historical inequities and their persistent perpetuation.

This webinar will provide a basic understanding of what structural racism is and how we can develop a structural racism analysis for the food system. Ultimately, the understanding generated by such an analysis will help our sector create a vision for, and pathway toward, a truly socially just and sustainable food system which supports the most vulnerable and excluded among us, particularly people of color, the poor, and women.

This webinar has been archived. Please visit the Center for Social Incusion website: www.centerforsocialinclusion.org.
