Opening Remarks + COVID-19 Update

Racial Equity and Community Resilience in Food Systems, Policy, and Program Delivery
How can communities best organize to build just and sustainable food systems? What structural and historic racial inequities are at play that perpetuate hunger and poverty, and how can federal programs intended to serve those in need be more racially equitable in their design and implementation? Hear from two leading thinkers as they engage in conversation around the connection between racial equity and justice in our food system, social safety net, and society at large.

Power of Native Youth: Creating Solutions to Hunger Issues and Addressing COVID-19
Engaging youth is more important than ever to empower rural communities and address hunger. This session features Native youth leaders who have been doing anti-hunger work in their own communities across Indian Country. These leaders share their stories, including how they got involved and the challenges they faced at the outset. They also discuss specific issues Native youth are facing in response to COVID-19, the importance of the youth voice in their food systems, and how funders can support Native youth in these efforts.

Embracing Community Perspectives and Cultures in Program Design and Delivery
There is growing interest in working with communities to co-create solutions and build capacity to address pressing needs – from fighting hunger to delivering health care – with the voice and perspective of community members at the core. Effective co-creation and interventions start with cultural competency among providers. This session’s panelists share successful strategies for building competency and offer examples of how they established trust in their work with diverse communities.
