which calls on corporations to take responsibility for the farmworker 
rights abuses in their supply chains. Workshops and discussions will 
focus on: approaches to supporting food system workers in the Pioneer 
Valley during this time of heightened stress and fear for foreign-born 
residents; food access, with an emphasis on community responses to the 
suspension of the Healthy Incentives Program and the threats to SNAP in 
the Farm Bill reauthorization process; and the challenges of land access 
for urban, rural, and immigrant farmers, recognizing the long history of 
enslavement and racial discrimination that created and maintain patterns 
of land and wealth ownership.Register today!
