Colonization, patriarchy, white supremacy, militarism, capitalism, & an extraction-based economy has disrupted our relationship to the land and natural order. This legacy of power and control cannot continue in addressing the climate crisis.

Antonio was picking strawberries near Santa Maria CA, that may be in your chocolate covered #ValentinesDay strawberry. Last week he and his coworkers were rushing to finish the field before the next storm hit the area. Too much rain causes the berries to rot faster. #WeFeedYou

—On September 5, 1942, United States Navy Messman Charles Jackson French swam through the night for 6 - 8 hours pulling a raft of 15 wounded sailors with a rope around his stomach through shark infested waters. The U.S. Navy Ship the U.S.S. Gregory was hit by Japanese naval fire in the South Pacific. Many were wounded and killed. French successfully brought these men to safety on the shores of The Solomon Islands. French was the first black swimmer to earn the Navy Medal for his heroism in 1943. We remember Charles Jackson French and commemorate his heroism and incredible swimming. Thank you for your service and your valor, Mr. French.
