Our work in rural communities is so important. Our communities are always disproportionately affected by natural and man-made disasters. This data shows, we are in a state of economic decline. We must continue to save land & organize #coop businesses. https://t.co/kSKChd9IGE

The question becomes - how can the conversation on Black land ownership, retention, and wealth-building amongst black families help millennials protect this transformative asset for themselves as well as future generations?  https://t.co/TbATVghgK8

Younger generations see economic exclusion and inequality, political divisiveness, and are demanding a greater say in the future of food. Could this be a cooperative moment?
