Acorn Supporters Say hello to our neighbors who support Acorn RMC’s efforts for self-resilience, dignity, justice, and belonging in our space.
Feed Black Futures Created in May 2020 in response to the concerted attack on Black Lives in the US – from the devastatingly disproportionate impact of COVID-19 on Black communities in LA to the state-sanctioned police violence against Black people. Founder, Ali Anderson, first became passionate about Black food sovereignty and food justice while serving as a doula in New York City and working on farms in New York, Jamaica, and Southern California. Feed Black Futures addresses Black economic and health inequities for families in LA, San Bernardino, and Alameda counties. We buy produce and eggs from small-scale Black and Brown farms utilizing regenerative agriculture. We deliver to Black mamas & caregivers supporting their families facing food insecurity due to or exacerbated by justice system involvement. We give these mamas & caregivers the resources to support their families in growing food to eat or sell by providing farmer training and food justice education. FBF partners with Essie Justice Group and a New Way of Life Reentry Project, both of which are led by Black women and serve primarily, Black, system impacted trans and cis women and gender nonconforming people.
