What does meat mean to you? This symposium brings together a range of actors from different disciplines and practices to promote dialog, share insights, and gain new perspectives on this question. Why meat? Animals raised for human consumption are at the center of discussions on how to create a more sustainable, just, and resilient food system. Our relationships to meat raise big questions about how to address climate change, whether meat can be part of a sustainable diet, and what it means to practice our values. Because there are multiple ways of knowing and engaging the topic of meat, this symposium will convene diverse individuals and groups, from scientists and entrepreneurs designing alternative proteins to artists and researchers creating visual and ethnographic representations of industrial meat production.

In "Everybody Eats: Communication and the Paths to Food Justice" Marianne LeGreco and Niesha Douglas tell the story of food justice in Greensboro, NC beginning when the city reached the top of the Food Research and Action Center's list of major cities experiencing food hardship.
Greensboro's local food communities chose to act by engaging neighborhood voices, mobilizing creative resources, and sustaining conversations across the local food system. Within three years, Greensboro saw an 8% drop in its food hardship rate and moved from first to fourteenth in FRAC's list.
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.
Music can be used to understand and communicate about food justice and environmental justice. Communicating through music can strengthen and uplift food and environmental justice practice that is diverse in terms of epistemology, representation, and mode. Music can offer references that may speak to specific and diverse audiences, and opens the door for deeper understandings of inequity and justice in ways that step away from Eurocentric insistence on linear and written communication to teach, exchange knowledge, or debate. This multimedia event brings together four leading and inspiring thinkers, activists, and artists who connect food or environmental justice with music through their work in a panel discussion accompanied by musical samples and audience questions.
