Join the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the Local Catch Network for a virtual forum that will bring together stakeholders from across the seafood sector who are working to strengthen local and regional seafood systems. 

The USDA LAMP Grant Forum will provide opportunities for past grantees and prospective applicants to connect, and share learned experiences to better understand, develop and implement successful Farmers Market Promotion Program, Local Food Promotion Program, and Regional Food Systems Partnerships program projects. The Forum will offer support to current and prospective grantees by facilitating knowledge sharing and network building between and among attendees, panelists, and USDA Grants Management Specialists.

Increasingly, people in movement spaces are demanding to work in democratic workplaces. One model often overlooked—the worker-owned cooperative—offers the benefit of having had to grapple with questions of participation, management, and governance for decades. To explore these issues in depth, this webinar, produced by NPQ in partnership with the Democracy at Work Institute (DAWI), will feature three worker-owners in worker cooperatives, who will discuss both the joys and the challenges of managing workplaces democratically.

In this virtual roundtable, Tracy Williams, nutrition advocate, Shaun Chavis founder of LVNGbook, Jonathan Katz author of Flavors of Diaspora blog, and Kristie Cabrera, occupational therapist & urban farmer will reimagine a food world without ableism.

This event is the second in a two-part event series, entitled "RECIPES FOR ACCESSIBILITY," devoted to the intersection of food and disability.
