About the Series

We are excited to introduce the second summit in our online Amplify Series, focusing on food and environmental justice.

This spring, we have joined forces with changemakers around the globe who work to dismantle inequity and harm, steward the planet, prioritize collective wellness, and stress interdependent liberation.  

Throughout history, voices of the Global Majority*––Black, Indigenous, people of color––have been at the forefront of breaking down barriers of systemic issues that affect both the planet and humanity and ushering in radical change—whether that has been bringing yoga to the west or fighting for justice on the front lines.

Note You will have access to the recordings for one year. All recordings will be available within 24 hours of the end of each session. You can register for as many sessions as you like.

What to Expect

The Amplify Summit will take place from April 17 through April 24 and offer nine sessions to be in relationship with wisdom holders, grassroots activists, farmers, water protectors, organizers, seed savers, artists, and land defenders together in a community of care. Learn at the intersection of land-based protections, co-liberation, Indigenous sovereignty, ecological renewal, and social justice.

Each session of the summit will educate, inspire, and challenge us through fiercely authentic, live online conversations that uplift varied perspectives, life experiences, and identities within the food justice and environmental justice communities. 

The line-up includes Leah Penniman, Lyla June, Tiokasin Ghosthorse, Chef IETEF, Ian Sanderson, ​Antonia Estela Pérez, Aisha Shillingford, Dr. Nazirahk Amen, and Rowen White.

Dive into the following topics: 

• Food sovereignty, justice, and security 
• Farming practices and seed saving 
• Water and land protection 
• Environmental and racial equity justice 
• Deep ecology, plant intelligence, and grassroots herbalism
• Activism allyship 
• Climate change and climate solutions
• Colonial violence, globalization, and Indigenous Sovereignty 
• Radical imagination and wisdom keepers 

Outcome

Continue the journey to personal and societal transformation in a community united in compassion and committed to equity and accessibility for all. 

Now is a time that requires us to listen, heal historical wounds, and do something different. We enter this work as an act of community care because none of us can be well unless all of us are well. 

*Since Black, Indigenous, and people of color represent over 80% of the world’s population, we use the term Global Majority to point out the demographic inaccuracy of the euphemism “minority.”
