Blog 2018 Sound Food Uprising Summit March 12, 2018 Share on Twitter Share on Facebook Share on LinkedIn Share on Email In February, Northwest Harvest participated in the Beecher’s Foundation Sound Food Uprising Summit. This event hosted over 350 Northwest-area food advocates—joining together to share ideas of how food is society’s primary ingredient in justice. Northwest Harvest’s COO, Eu-wanda Eagans, was a panelist in a powerful session addressing equity in the food system, overcoming corporate interests, recognizing privilege, and developing innovative solutions that, in order to be successful, must better incorporate voices of those most-adversely impacted by a long, systemic history of disenfranchisement. Northwest Harvest thanks the Beecher’s Foundation and all other participating organizations who recognize hunger is not just an absence of food—it’s an absence of justice.
