SUMMARY:SAFSF Fibers Roadmap: Strategy Session on Roadmap Levers and Next Actions
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the launch of the SAFSF Fibers Roadmap: Integrated Capital Opportunities to Support Revitalization of U.S.-Grown Fiber\, Textiles\, and Leather.\n\n\n\nSustainable agriculture and food systems encompass much more than food production alone. Food and fibers are critical for our daily needs and are fundamental to human health. And just like food\, fiber crops—including both plant-based fibers like cotton\, hemp\, and flax and animal-based products like wool\, alpaca\, and leather—are part of an agricultural system with critical and interconnected impacts on health\, economic and racial justice\, and the environment. \n\n\n\nFunders\, investors\, and integrated capital practitioners have the opportunity to draw on key lessons from the sustainable food movement and apply innovative financing models to catalyze the revitalization of the U.S. fiber and textile industry. Join us to dive into the launch of a seven-year financial Roadmap identifying five key Gaps and Levers where integrated philanthropic and investment capital would have the greatest impact on the U.S. fiber and textile industry. The Roadmap draws on more than 60 interviews with fiber farmers and ranchers\, processing businesses along the supply chain (mills\, tanneries\, etc.)\, brands and other supply chain experts\, and funders and investors. \n\n\n\nJoin us for an interactive working session to dig deeper into the “levers\,” financing mechanisms\, and next actions laid out in the seven-year Fibers Roadmap. Connect with key partners\, experts\, and funder colleagues\, and explore models to put the Roadmap into action. \n\n\n\nWebinar 1: Launch and Overview\, October 29\, 2020 \n\n\n\nWebinar 2: Case Studies from the Fiber System\, November 17\, 2020 \n\n\n\nWebinar 3: Strategy Session on Roadmap Levers and Next Actions\, December 3\, 2020 \n\n\n\nWe gratefully acknowledge funding support provided by The 11th Hour Project\, Globetrotter Foundation and the #NoRegrets Initiative\, Jena and Michael King Foundation\, One Earth\, and an RSF Donor Advised Fund.\n\n\n\nResources:\n\n\n\nDownload presentation and breakout room slides\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSarah Kelley\, Common Threads Consulting – Project Director (moderator)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFull speaker list coming soon..

SUMMARY:We Can’t ‘Foodbank’ Our Way Out of Hunger: From Charity to a Social Justice Funding Model
DESCRIPTION:$25 SAFSF Member / $40 Non-member  \n\n\n\nJoin us for a two-part discussion of the contradictions in our food and social welfare systems\, and the ways philanthropy can help abate the present-day crisis and demonstrate a long-term commitment to building health\, social\, environmental\, and economic resilience into our food system. Each webinar will include a panel discussion followed by a funder-only strategy session. \n\n\n\nOver the past forty years\, food charity has captured the social imagination of funders and policymakers eager to resolve the contradictions of a society that produces hunger amidst plenty. Food charity has become normalized to capture the increasing number of people falling through the frayed social safety net. However\, this charitable emergency feeding system in the U.S.—the largest and most sophisticated in the world—has historically never been able to meet the demand or even make a real dent in the rate of food insecurity which has hovered at 11-12% for the past 30 years. \n\n\n\nPrior to the COVID-19 pandemic\, 37 million Americans were already struggling to put food on the table\, even as two-thirds of people facing hunger in the U.S. had incomes above the federal poverty line. With the number of food-insecure people in the U.S. expected to climb to 54 million by the end of 2020\, it is simply not possible to ‘foodbank’ our way out of hunger. We are witnessing and\, in many cases\, supporting a private charitable feeding system\, with no track record of eliminating hunger even before the pandemic\, but which is now pushed to its limits. \n\n\n\nA growing membership-based network of emergency food providers (food banks\, soup kitchens\, food pantries) and allied organizations called Closing the Hunger Gap has emerged to actively engage in changing both the false narratives behind why people are hungry\, and the false solutions put forth to address hunger in the United States. This webinar will highlight member organizations creating\, piloting\, and adapting specific policies and practices that ground solutions to chronic hunger in addressing the social justice issues that created and perpetuate it. \n\n\n\nWebinar 1\, October 22\, 2020: View recording \n\n\n\n\n\nPresented by WhyHunger\n\n\n\nSpeakers:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAmy Blumsack\, director of organizing & policy\, Neighbors Together\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAlison Cohen\, senior director of programs\, WhyHunger (moderator)\n\n\n\n\nAlison is the Senior Director of Programs at WhyHunger\, a grassroots support organization providing critical resources to support global social movements and to fuel community solutions rooted in social\, environmental\, racial\, and economic justice. We are working to end hunger and advance the right to nutritious food in the US and around the world. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGiovanni Roberto\, founder\, Comedores Sociales (Community Kitchens)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nChristina Wong\, public policy and advocacy director\, Northwest Harvest\n\n\n\n\nChristina Wong studied social work and policy at the University of Chicago and is a graduate of the University of Washington School of Law. She has over 20 years of experience as an advocate for social justice issues\, including her work with survivors of interpersonal violence\, disability rights\, comprehensive immigration reform\, and child welfare. Christina provides information and updates on food and nutrition issues and educates state and federal lawmakers about the needs of our clients in order to strengthen and restore our public safety net. She is also the Chair of the steering committee for the Anti-Hunger & Nutrition Coalition. She is a mother of two young girls and loves to cook\, knit\, and go camping. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCamryn Smith\, executive director\, Communities in Partnership\nCamryn Smith (pronouns: she/her/hers) is a proud resident of Old East Durham and a community activist & organizer. She has been serving in place-based development work for over 18 years both stateside and abroad. Camryn is a founding member of Communities In Partnership (CIP)\, a grassroots community organizing and education group based in Old East Durham and serves as the Executive Director.
