'An Open Letter from BIPOC Leaders in Food & Agriculture to Food Systems Funders'

In an open letter published on Medium, Black, Indigenous, and other People of Color (BIPOC) leaders in food and agriculture spoke directly to funders and make several calls for action in philanthropy.

The letter begins: “Dear Food Systems Funders, We write to you as Black, Indigenous, and other People of Color (BIPOC) leaders in food and agriculture who work with hundreds of grassroots communities across the country who have been at and on the frontlines of food and agriculture justice work.

You’ve articulated your commitment to equity and to racial healing and we appreciate that. Now, it’s time to put words into action, and put your money where your mouth is.”

We encourage you to read the full letter and consider their calls to action for your organization, here.
