Social Justice Forum: Food Security
2021-02-25 04:00 - 05:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | WA
Join the Wenatchee Valley Museum and a local panel on Thursday, February 25 at 12 PM as we continue the conversation in our Social Justice Series by addressing Food Security. Food security means access to sufficient, safe, and nutritious food that meets food preferences and dietary needs for an active and healthy life. Access to quality, nutritious food is fundamental to human existence, yet millions of Americans are either unable to acquire enough food to meet their needs, or uncertain of where their next meal might come from.
Join us on Zoom and Facebook Live as we engage in a thoughtful, inclusive, and open-minded discussion about the wide-ranging benefits of food security, how the COVID pandemic has affected food security in North Central Washington, and about the local efforts to provide food security for the most vulnerable in our community.
Panelists:
Thom Ness, Executive Director, Serve Wenatchee
Alan Walker, Executive Director, Chelan-Douglas Action Council
Kim Romain-Bondi, Executive Director, Classroom in Bloom
Bob Mark, Community Cupboard Program Manager, Upper Valley Mend
Tracy Falkner Carlson, Community Outreach, Wenatchee First United Methodist Church

The LGBTQIA2S+ community recognizes June as the Official PRIDE MONTH, the month of June is the start of pride events all across the globe, extending over several months to folks from all walks of life. PRIDE is an annual celebration of LGBTQIA2S+ identity and a call for equal rights. LGBTQIA2S+ people of all ages continue to suffer from violations of their human rights through discrimination, harassment, and violence. Even state governments often fail to adequately protect LGBTQIA2S+ people from discriminatory treatment in the private sphere, including in the workplace, housing and healthcare.
Join us on Zoom and Facebook Live as we engage in a thoughtful, inclusive, and open-minded discussion about how we as a community can work to ensure that LGBTQIA2S+ people belong here and can live openly and authentically without discrimination, harassment, or violence.
