SUMMARY:Racism\, Land\, and Food
DESCRIPTION:Warm greetings from Geneva! \nOn behalf of our colleague\, Dr. Manoj Kurian\, Coordinator of the Ecumenical Advocacy Alliance (EAA) of the World Council of Churches\, we are happy to share with you an invitation to attend an upcoming webinar on Racism\, Land\, and Food. \nNew York\, Bogota 09:00-11:00; London 14:00- 16:00; Geneva 15:00-17:00\, Johannesburg 16:00-18:00\, Nairobi 17:00-19:00\, New Delhi 19:30-21:30\, Bangkok 21:00-23:00 \nObjectives for the Webinar: \n• Explore the intersections of food\, land and racial injustice. \n• Discern key lessons from initiatives and good practices that work to overcome the impact of racial injustice and inequity on food sovereignty. \n• Reflect on how the Holy Scripture can assist and guide in bringing justice\, dignity and rights to marginalised communities with regard to food and land \nRegister here: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZEvduGspj4iHtceXhhER9aLh9wJeRPv1hB1 \nBackground documents: https://seafile.ecucenter.org/d/d35a42625eaf40b29c9b/ \nLanguages: English and Spanish \nBrief description: \nWorldwide\, communities are increasingly experiencing poverty due to severe climate changes and lack of access to fertile farmlands and the deploying of fertile farmlands for cash crop farming at the expense of food production. In fact\, in many countries\, especially\, former colonies\, the most productive farmlands are shared by the very rich\, normally descendants of the colonisers/ other privileged classes and castes and some indigenous elites\, while the masses continue to try to eke out a living from their inherited but tired lands that have been farmed without rest over decades if not centuries. In some instances\, the rich have used their access to financial and material resources to coerce poor farmers to plant and grow cash crops for the export market at the expense of growing staple crops\, however\, the rewards from cash crops are great for the merchants and exporters while starving the poor farmers who are left without any significant returns from their cash crops and without food. \nThis webinar seeks to explore the intersection of these two injustices across the globe. It helps to consolidate the analytical\, advocacy and practical resources\, to explore\, understand and expose the effects of the combined force of food\, climate and racial injustice. \nResource persons \n· Rev. Chebon Kernell\, Indigenous Perspectives  Executive Director\, Native American Comprehensive Plan\, United Methodist Church\, USA  \n· Dr. Fransina Yoteni\, Gereja Kristen Injili Di Tanah Papua (GKITP)- Evangelical Christian Church in Tanah Papua\, Member of the Central Committee of the WCC\, West Papua\, Indonesia \n· Dr. Betty Ruth Lozano Lerma\, Director of Research\, Fundación Universitaria Bautista (Unibautista)\, Colombia \n· Dr. Mervyn Abrahams\, Pietermaritzburg Economic Justice & Dignity Group\, Republic of South Africa \n· Mr. Angelious Michael\, Coordinator\, Partnership and Youth Desk at Jeypore Evangelical Lutheran Church\, Orissa\, India \n· Rev.
