[sudo-discuss] " Exploring Greenwashing and Gentrification fromOakland to Palestine"(Workshop Oakland)

I invite all who care about the future of Oakland, the vitality of the local people of Oakland as well as the future of our movements toward a more equitable and resilient community of partners to attend this meeting with me - Troy M. " You are the source of Freedom. The price of freedom is awareness and action." Join Phat Beets Produce for this world cafe-style workshop that explores how tree plantings in Oakland, Detroit, and Occupied Palestine function to displace low-income people of color and marginalized groups from their neighborhoods and land for the purposes of development and profit-making. We will explore the commonalities of the techniques and methods used by WOGI (West OaklandGreening Initiative), Hantz Farms in Detroit (largest proposed urban tree farm in the US), and the Jewish National Fund's "Plant a Tree in Israel" campaign to understand how non-profit organizations, private companies and local governments use greenwashing as a tool for displacement and gentrification. -----Original Message----- From: "max cadji max(a)phatbeetsproduce.org [EBSocForum]" <EBSocForum(a)yahoogroups.com> Sent: ‎9/‎9/‎2014 2:04 PM Subject: [EBSocForum] : " Exploring Greenwashing and Gentrification fromOakland to Palestine"(Workshop Oakland) Come check out the Food N’ Justice Workshop series.
