Why do you enjoy working on the farm and with the nation-wide CSA community? Is it particulary meaningful to you as a Black wombyn?

Detroit students walk out against school budget cuts and in solidarity with a nearby school threatened with closure….defending public education and opposing the charterization and privatization of their schools.[read more]
From the Video Description:
On Friday, April 27, 2012 at 10:55 a.m., we students of Western International High School will be starting our first day of class at Southwest Detroit Freedom School at Clark Park, across from our beloved school which we were suspended from. After over 300 of us staged a student walkout on Wednesday April 25, 2012, over 150 of us were given 5-day suspensions. One of our fellow students, targeted as the “ring-leader” is being threatened with formal charges for helping organize the walkout. We were walking out in solidarity with our fellow students at Southwestern High School to save their school from closing. More importantly, we were also fighting for quality education for us at Western, and at ALL DPS schools. We do not understand why we are being punished with a loss of educational opportunity when that is exactly what we were fighting for. To further demonstrate our commitment to education, we will be attending our own school taught by ourselves and community educators for the duration of our suspension. We are still looking for more teachers and students.
Woww.
Portland students will be joining them next month in protest. It’s dire out here.
