Since 2006, Earth Activist Training has been working to
support two community gardens in Bayview Hunters Point,
a predominantly African-American, low-income inner city
neighborhood in San Francisco, plagued by toxins, gang and
police violence, and lack of access to fresh food. We have
worked in partnership nurturing with Hunters Point Family
www.hunterspointfamily.org,
an organization that runs violence prevention and food justice
programs for at-risk youth.
We've planted, we've weeded, we've volunteered hours of
training time with the youth and the garden coordinators,
and we've brought in resources-from compost tea to the Common
Vision Fruit Tree Tour (see www.commonvision.org
for more information).
In June of 2010, Starhawk from EAT together with Lena Miller
and Jasmine Marshall of HPF attended the US Social Forum
in Detroit. Read about it in the archives on www.starhawksblog.org
