Activist Cafe Luncheons:
All registered meeting attendees are invited to attend one or both Luncheons for additional charge of $20 per lunch.
Both lunches will adhere to our locavore theme and feature delicious, locally sourced foods, with both vegetarian and non-vegetarian options. Thus, specifics will have to wait for the chef to see what is available that weekend. Some likely options: wild salmon, free-range chicken breast, organic greens, and a pesto tofu and roasted tomato casserole with saffron pine nut risotto.
Friday Luncheon: "Creating Food Justice" featuring Nancy Becker
Food justice activist and Portland resident Nancy Becker will talk about her experiences as a life-long food justice activist. Her work has taken her from Portland area schools to Washington DC.
Saturday Luncheon: "Social Justice for the Houseless Community" featuring Ibrahim Mubarak
