This society is obsessed with the “hero narrative.” While individual leaders are beloved and irreplaceable, the truth is that movements are comprised of many organizations and individuals.

We created the “Beyond Heroes” media guide to push for change.

For BIPOC Farmers and Land Stewards, it can be challenging to find the time and resources to take part in solidarity and human rights actions. Soul Fire Farm has established a travel fund to help defray costs of participation. APPLY HERE. bit.ly/SoulFireFund

Thank you for these words @naimainfinity that remind us that we are worthy of time, flight, and love. Not because of what we do but because of who we are. A masterpiece. A miracle.

We created a guide for funders who proclaim an equity commitment, encouraging them to invest in the Deep South, fund organizations led by and accountable to Black and Indigenous people, and to defer to frontlines communities as experts in their fields. bit.ly/funderequity

Public institutions spend billions of taxpayer $$$ on food. Most of it goes to a handful of corps like Tyson Foods and Aramark -- but what if we spent it on businesses that share our values? Read our new report with Food Chain Workers Alliance (FCWA) out today: bit.ly/foodjusticerep

Pull up family! We have some beautiful virtual and in-person offerings happening both on and off the farm
