About Growing Power:

Growing Power supports people from diverse backgrounds and the environments in which they live, by helping to provide equal access to healthy, high-quality, safe, and affordable food. In Chicago, Growing Power farms over twelve-acres in seven different neighborhoods. Their programming nourishes the bodies and minds of over 400 children with good food while providing life-changing skills.

About Food Chain Workers Alliance:

The Food Chain Workers Alliance is a coalition of worker-based organizations whose members plant, harvest, process, pack, transport, prepare, serve, and sell food. The FCWA is a national coalition of 23 worker-based organizations, including unions, worker centers, and food justice groups, that collectively represents close to 300,000 workers across the food chain.  Prior to 2008, many labor organizations were concerned that worker justice issues were being left out of the conversation around sustainable food systems. These groups were struggling with ways to integrate their work into the growing national food movement. As Diana Robinson, Campaign and Education Coordinator for FCWA put it, “Food workers are the hands that feed us, yet they are this group of invisible people.”
