10/19/21: Building Solidarity Across Islands

Building Solidarity Across Islands

Join us on October 19th (12pm HT | 3pm PT | 5pm CT | 6pm ET) to learn about how colonization has led Hawaiʻi and Puerto Rico to become centers of research and development for the agrochemical industry. Tune in to learn more about their shared histories, how these communities are resisting these systems, and how they’re working to build a resilient food future. 

Panelists include:

🌱 Keani Rawlins-Fernandez: Maui County Council

🌱 Maria Benedetti: Ethnobotanical researcher, author and educator

🌱 Daniella Rodríguez Besosa: Farmer and activist 

🌱 Jesús Vázquez: Organización Boricuá de Agricultura Ecológica de Puerto Rico

The panel will be moderated by Andrea Brower, a Sociology & Environmental Studies Professor at Gonzaga University, activist, and HAPA Board Member.
