"bio": "Patrick is a Seattle native who grew up in a very food-centric family. His father owns a restaurant supply company, his two older sisters are former owners of a successful restaurant in Seattle's International District, and Patrick thinks his mother and grandmother are the best cooks in the world.\r\n\r\nAs editor of a food travel magazine in college and eating his way through New York City and Europe, it for some reason took him a long time to realize he wanted to work professionally in food. After trying to make it in television news in the Bay Area, he realized he hated it and ran for the world of food. Since then, Patrick has been able to combine his journalism chops with his love of food, dining, and cooking into lead marketing roles at several Bay Area food start-ups. Currently, he is the Brand Director for Roli Roti and is the video producer for restaurant podcast, Menu Stories and co-founder of food-inspired streetwear line, Mother Sauce. Patrick is also a contributing writer/photographer/videographer for Thrillist SF, Eater SF, SF Gate, and Tastemade.",

"content": "\u003cp>This spring, millions of Americans worried that salad was no longer safe to eat: The U.S. was hit by the largest E. coli outbreak in a decade, with 172 people in 32 states sickened by contaminated romaine lettuce. Eighty-nine of those individuals were hospitalized, and at least five died.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Would rinsing lettuce have prevented the outbreak? Likely not, because the E. coli organism that caused the outbreak is so hardy that only a few bacteria are necessary to cause illness. And E. coli can survive in frozen or refrigerated temperatures. It is only destroyed through cooking or pasteurization, according to Colorado State University.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rinsing does help prevent other illnesses associated with food.

Eighty-nine of those individuals were hospitalized, and at least five died.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Would rinsing lettuce have prevented the outbreak? Likely not, because the E. coli organism that caused the outbreak is so hardy that only a few bacteria are necessary to cause illness. And E. coli can survive in frozen or refrigerated temperatures. It is only destroyed through cooking or pasteurization, according to Colorado State University.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rinsing does help prevent other illnesses associated with food.

Soon after, LGBTQ havens like San Francisco followed suit, organizing parades, creating publications, and launching other efforts to advocate for LGBTQ rights and visibility. Staging \"Gay-ins\" (which would ultimately evolve into \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfpride.org/\">San Francisco Pride\u003c/a>), San Francisco was instrumental in many of the west coast's gay rights advocacy movements, giving way to figures such as \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harvey_Milk\">Harvey Milk\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anne_Kronenberg\">Anne Kronenburg\u003c/a>, and \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gilbert_Baker_(artist)\">Gilbert Baker\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With such a rich history rooted in the LGBTQ movement and with a city culture that is still currently so deeply embedded in it, it's no surprise that beyond the many city celebrations, parades, and parties, that chefs and restaurant owners all over the Bay are celebrating Pride month in a way they know best: through food and drink!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Below are some of the best ways to literally take Pride in--whether that's through a masterfully crafted cocktail, a perfectly baked confection, or in an eye-opening conversation over a tasty meal.

Ahead of that, on June 22, Finn Town will also go through a bit of a transformation and become \"Club Finn,\" which is being described as a \"classy not trashy\" Pride celebration with a red carpet, photographers, their signature Pride cocktails, and Jello shots.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_128934\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-128934\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/The-Pride-themed-Macarons-are-available-to-order-online-and-come-in-a-case-of-six.jpg\" alt=\"The Pride-themed Macarons are available to order online and come in a case of six.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1300\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/The-Pride-themed-Macarons-are-available-to-order-online-and-come-in-a-case-of-six.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/The-Pride-themed-Macarons-are-available-to-order-online-and-come-in-a-case-of-six-160x108.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/The-Pride-themed-Macarons-are-available-to-order-online-and-come-in-a-case-of-six-800x542.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/The-Pride-themed-Macarons-are-available-to-order-online-and-come-in-a-case-of-six-768x520.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/The-Pride-themed-Macarons-are-available-to-order-online-and-come-in-a-case-of-six-1020x691.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/The-Pride-themed-Macarons-are-available-to-order-online-and-come-in-a-case-of-six-1200x813.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/The-Pride-themed-Macarons-are-available-to-order-online-and-come-in-a-case-of-six-1180x799.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/The-Pride-themed-Macarons-are-available-to-order-online-and-come-in-a-case-of-six-960x650.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/The-Pride-themed-Macarons-are-available-to-order-online-and-come-in-a-case-of-six-240x163.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/The-Pride-themed-Macarons-are-available-to-order-online-and-come-in-a-case-of-six-375x254.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/The-Pride-themed-Macarons-are-available-to-order-online-and-come-in-a-case-of-six-520x352.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Pride-themed Macarons are available to order online and come in a case of six. \u003ccite>(Patrick Wong)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>Rainbow Macarons: \u003ca href=\"http://kahnfections.com/\">Kahnfections\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.google.com/maps/place/Kahnfections/@37.7587595,-122.4174425,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x808f7e3983fa4199:0xe4015cb32f236e63!8m2!3d37.7587553!4d-122.4152538\">3321 20th St, San Francisco\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Neighborhood bakery, Kahnfections, is typically known for its array of tasty pastries (grab a scone, biscuit, or croissant next time you're there), so it's not a huge surprise that Kahnfections has unveiled an equally as tasty baked good for Pride.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Available all month long are Kahnfections' \"Pride-themed Macarons,\" which come in a set of six macarons, representing the colors of the rainbow.

Staging \"Gay-ins\" (which would ultimately evolve into \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfpride.org/\">San Francisco Pride\u003c/a>), San Francisco was instrumental in many of the west coast's gay rights advocacy movements, giving way to figures such as \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harvey_Milk\">Harvey Milk\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anne_Kronenberg\">Anne Kronenburg\u003c/a>, and \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gilbert_Baker_(artist)\">Gilbert Baker\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With such a rich history rooted in the LGBTQ movement and with a city culture that is still currently so deeply embedded in it, it's no surprise that beyond the many city celebrations, parades, and parties, that chefs and restaurant owners all over the Bay are celebrating Pride month in a way they know best: through food and drink!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Below are some of the best ways to literally take Pride in--whether that's through a masterfully crafted cocktail, a perfectly baked confection, or in an eye-opening conversation over a tasty meal. And just like Pride, the offerings below only come around once a year, so take a bite, sip, and seat before you have to wait all year for it to come around again!\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_128916\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-128916\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/The-Always-Rising-named-for-gay-activist-Cleve-Jones-made-with-tequila-passionfruit-peach-housemade-habanero-syrup-and-lime-1.jpg\" alt=\"The Always Rising, named for gay activist Cleve Jones, made with tequila, passionfruit, peach, housemade habanero syrup, and lime.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1300\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/The-Always-Rising-named-for-gay-activist-Cleve-Jones-made-with-tequila-passionfruit-peach-housemade-habanero-syrup-and-lime-1.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/The-Always-Rising-named-for-gay-activist-Cleve-Jones-made-with-tequila-passionfruit-peach-housemade-habanero-syrup-and-lime-1-160x108.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/The-Always-Rising-named-for-gay-activist-Cleve-Jones-made-with-tequila-passionfruit-peach-housemade-habanero-syrup-and-lime-1-800x542.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/The-Always-Rising-named-for-gay-activist-Cleve-Jones-made-with-tequila-passionfruit-peach-housemade-habanero-syrup-and-lime-1-768x520.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/The-Always-Rising-named-for-gay-activist-Cleve-Jones-made-with-tequila-passionfruit-peach-housemade-habanero-syrup-and-lime-1-1020x691.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/The-Always-Rising-named-for-gay-activist-Cleve-Jones-made-with-tequila-passionfruit-peach-housemade-habanero-syrup-and-lime-1-1200x813.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/The-Always-Rising-named-for-gay-activist-Cleve-Jones-made-with-tequila-passionfruit-peach-housemade-habanero-syrup-and-lime-1-1180x799.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/The-Always-Rising-named-for-gay-activist-Cleve-Jones-made-with-tequila-passionfruit-peach-housemade-habanero-syrup-and-lime-1-960x650.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/The-Always-Rising-named-for-gay-activist-Cleve-Jones-made-with-tequila-passionfruit-peach-housemade-habanero-syrup-and-lime-1-240x163.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/The-Always-Rising-named-for-gay-activist-Cleve-Jones-made-with-tequila-passionfruit-peach-housemade-habanero-syrup-and-lime-1-375x254.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/The-Always-Rising-named-for-gay-activist-Cleve-Jones-made-with-tequila-passionfruit-peach-housemade-habanero-syrup-and-lime-1-520x352.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Always Rising, named for gay activist Cleve Jones, made with tequila, passionfruit, peach, housemade habanero syrup, and lime. \u003ccite>(Patrick Wong)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>Pride Cocktail Menu: \u003ca href=\"http://finntownsf.com/\">Finn Town\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.google.com/maps/place/Finn+Town/@37.7648006,-122.4318383,15z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0x95e591def2338c29!8m2!3d37.7648006!4d-122.4318383\">2251 Market St, San Francisco, CA 94114\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

One group chops vegetables for the salad, others package dates and bread for distribution, and there's always one person with a broom anticipating spillage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the volunteers, Ibtihal Hola, calls her 8-year-old son Bashar over as she waves a yellow T-shirt and matching vest over her head. She wants to show him his new Eid outfit, which was given to her by another woman working in the kitchen. She says in the Middle East it's a very important custom to buy new clothes to wear during the holidays. Hola has been bringing her son to the the Ramadan Kitchen for the past three years and people there have become family.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hola left Syria with her children in 2013, after her husband went missing in their hometown of Homs. She's not sure whether he's alive or dead, but what she does know is that she must continue moving forward for her kids. She says the kitchen has provided an outlet for her son and has given him great male role models.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the men in the kitchen, Anas, often sneaks treats to Bashar and plays little games with him. He tells me that only a dirt road separated his house from Hola's family back in Syria. But they've only met in this place, after the war.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A few tables down, Marwa Bakabas, a Yemeni-American volunteer with Sawa, is assisting with meal preparations. Another volunteer tries to jokingly spray her with a hose.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bakabas is on a first-name basis with most of the people in the kitchen. She says they have now become her family, and even lived with some of them when she was based in the Bekaa Valley a few months ago before relocating to Beirut, where she commutes from.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bakabas says when she moved to Lebanon from the U.S. to work with refugees, she found it difficult to find the right organization to volunteer with. She spent a lot of time working with different international groups in Greece who were also helping Syrians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Sawa actually engages the community,\" she says. \"Most NGOs [non-governmental organizations] just play the beneficiaries for these communities. They come in, drop off food and leave.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chef Abu Emad, who was displaced from the countryside of Damascus, commands the kitchen. In his 60s, he sports a thick mustache. His voice is soft but authoritative as he gives cooking instructions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The chef's job can be tough sometimes.\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>One of the volunteers, who preferred not to be named, says the there are a lot of passionate opinions around the kitchen about how a specific dish should be made. And sometimes the community gives the chef a hard time when the final result is not up to par.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We had a major crisis with a pot of rice a few days ago. It wasn't spiced correctly,\" says the volunteer. \"We care about turning out quality food. If it's not something we'd eat in our house then it's not something we'd serve to our community.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once harmony in the kitchen is restored and tensions cool off, it's time for packaging and distribution. The volunteers come together to sing nostalgic Arabic songs while filling up the boxes and place them in an assembly line. They then pack up the boxes into vans and distribute them to their neighbors around the refugee camps before the sun goes down. For many families who are fasting for Ramadan, this will be their main meal for the day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And how does the food taste? I couldn't try it because I was fasting. But little Bashar had a response: he wants more pizza! \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Copyright 2018 \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/\">NPR\u003c/a>.\u003c/em> \u003c/p>\n\n",

He says it was a month where people would gather together and share meals. Even after the war began in 2011, Ramadan, he says, was still a moment in time when people would to take a step back, reflect and come together to break bread, from both sides of the war. \"But everything changed when we became refugees.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_128997\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1136px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/image002-51-2cd63f4b94d99726ec796be29002ba298835fc86.jpg\" alt=\"Bashar, sits on a table for prepping meals in the Ramadan Kitchen.\" width=\"1136\" height=\"852\" class=\"size-full wp-image-128997\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/image002-51-2cd63f4b94d99726ec796be29002ba298835fc86.jpg 1136w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/image002-51-2cd63f4b94d99726ec796be29002ba298835fc86-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/image002-51-2cd63f4b94d99726ec796be29002ba298835fc86-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/image002-51-2cd63f4b94d99726ec796be29002ba298835fc86-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/image002-51-2cd63f4b94d99726ec796be29002ba298835fc86-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/image002-51-2cd63f4b94d99726ec796be29002ba298835fc86-960x720.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/image002-51-2cd63f4b94d99726ec796be29002ba298835fc86-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/image002-51-2cd63f4b94d99726ec796be29002ba298835fc86-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/image002-51-2cd63f4b94d99726ec796be29002ba298835fc86-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1136px) 100vw, 1136px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bashar, sits on a table for prepping meals in the Ramadan Kitchen. \u003ccite>(Bashar Kaddo)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The kitchen brings together a variety of people: a former professional soccer player who played for the Syrian national team, an injured baker, an art critic, a single mother. One group chops vegetables for the salad, others package dates and bread for distribution, and there's always one person with a broom anticipating spillage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the volunteers, Ibtihal Hola, calls her 8-year-old son Bashar over as she waves a yellow T-shirt and matching vest over her head. She wants to show him his new Eid outfit, which was given to her by another woman working in the kitchen. She says in the Middle East it's a very important custom to buy new clothes to wear during the holidays. Hola has been bringing her son to the the Ramadan Kitchen for the past three years and people there have become family.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hola left Syria with her children in 2013, after her husband went missing in their hometown of Homs. She's not sure whether he's alive or dead, but what she does know is that she must continue moving forward for her kids. She says the kitchen has provided an outlet for her son and has given him great male role models.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the men in the kitchen, Anas, often sneaks treats to Bashar and plays little games with him. He tells me that only a dirt road separated his house from Hola's family back in Syria. But they've only met in this place, after the war.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A few tables down, Marwa Bakabas, a Yemeni-American volunteer with Sawa, is assisting with meal preparations. Another volunteer tries to jokingly spray her with a hose.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bakabas is on a first-name basis with most of the people in the kitchen. She says they have now become her family, and even lived with some of them when she was based in the Bekaa Valley a few months ago before relocating to Beirut, where she commutes from.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bakabas says when she moved to Lebanon from the U.S. to work with refugees, she found it difficult to find the right organization to volunteer with. She spent a lot of time working with different international groups in Greece who were also helping Syrians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Sawa actually engages the community,\" she says. \"Most NGOs [non-governmental organizations] just play the beneficiaries for these communities. They come in, drop off food and leave.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chef Abu Emad, who was displaced from the countryside of Damascus, commands the kitchen. In his 60s, he sports a thick mustache. His voice is soft but authoritative as he gives cooking instructions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The chef's job can be tough sometimes.\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>One of the volunteers, who preferred not to be named, says the there are a lot of passionate opinions around the kitchen about how a specific dish should be made. And sometimes the community gives the chef a hard time when the final result is not up to par.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We had a major crisis with a pot of rice a few days ago. It wasn't spiced correctly,\" says the volunteer. \"We care about turning out quality food. If it's not something we'd eat in our house then it's not something we'd serve to our community.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once harmony in the kitchen is restored and tensions cool off, it's time for packaging and distribution. The volunteers come together to sing nostalgic Arabic songs while filling up the boxes and place them in an assembly line. They then pack up the boxes into vans and distribute them to their neighbors around the refugee camps before the sun goes down. For many families who are fasting for Ramadan, this will be their main meal for the day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And how does the food taste? I couldn't try it because I was fasting. But little Bashar had a response: he wants more pizza! \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

In an interview with \u003cem>The Cut\u003c/em>, Bourdain confessed he'd partially awakened to how widespread the issue of male predation was \u003ca href=\"http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/gossip/anthony-bourdain-cooks-asia-argento-rose-mcgowan-article-1.3656784\">when his girlfriend, Asia Argento, confided she was one of disgraced film maker Harvey Weinstein's accusers\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I stand unhesitatingly and unwaveringly with the women,\" he wrote on \u003ca href=\"https://medium.com/@Bourdain/on-reacting-to-bad-news-28bc2c4b9adc\">in a 2017 essay on Medium\u003c/a>. And he meant not just in the film industry: \"Right now, nothing else matters but women's stories of what it's like in the industry I have loved and celebrated for nearly 30 years...\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He also clapped back at the country's growing anti-immigrant, especially anti-Mexican, sentiment. \u003ca href=\"http://anthonybourdain.tumblr.com/post/84641290831/under-the-volcano\">On his blog in 2014\u003c/a>, Bourdain noted that, \"Americans love Mexican food ... Despite our ridiculously hypocritical attitudes towards immigration, we demand that Mexicans cook a large percentage of the food we eat, grow the ingredients we need to make that food, clean our houses, mow our lawns, wash our dishes, look after our children. As any chef will tell you, our entire service economy—the restaurant business as we know it—in most American cities, would collapse overnight without Mexican workers.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's noticing things like that — and being unafraid to voice those observations in his books, blogs and on his television shows, that made Anthony Bourdain beloved, even revered, by the many communities of marginalized people that he visited, touched and supported.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Copyright 2018 \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/\">NPR\u003c/a>.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

In an interview with \u003cem>The Cut\u003c/em>, Bourdain confessed he'd partially awakened to how widespread the issue of male predation was \u003ca href=\"http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/gossip/anthony-bourdain-cooks-asia-argento-rose-mcgowan-article-1.3656784\">when his girlfriend, Asia Argento, confided she was one of disgraced film maker Harvey Weinstein's accusers\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I stand unhesitatingly and unwaveringly with the women,\" he wrote on \u003ca href=\"https://medium.com/@Bourdain/on-reacting-to-bad-news-28bc2c4b9adc\">in a 2017 essay on Medium\u003c/a>. And he meant not just in the film industry: \"Right now, nothing else matters but women's stories of what it's like in the industry I have loved and celebrated for nearly 30 years...\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He also clapped back at the country's growing anti-immigrant, especially anti-Mexican, sentiment. \u003ca href=\"http://anthonybourdain.tumblr.com/post/84641290831/under-the-volcano\">On his blog in 2014\u003c/a>, Bourdain noted that, \"Americans love Mexican food ... Despite our ridiculously hypocritical attitudes towards immigration, we demand that Mexicans cook a large percentage of the food we eat, grow the ingredients we need to make that food, clean our houses, mow our lawns, wash our dishes, look after our children. As any chef will tell you, our entire service economy—the restaurant business as we know it—in most American cities, would collapse overnight without Mexican workers.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's noticing things like that — and being unafraid to voice those observations in his books, blogs and on his television shows, that made Anthony Bourdain beloved, even revered, by the many communities of marginalized people that he visited, touched and supported.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Copyright 2018 \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/\">NPR\u003c/a>.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

She adds that those numbers don’t include the many other ways Black and brown people have been excluded from the tools that have allowed white people to succeed for centuries, such as \u003ca href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2015/oct/13/your-credit-score-is-racist-heres-why\">access to credit\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://www.colorlines.com/articles/study-report-explores-how-institutional-racism-derails-education-black-boys\">education\u003c/a>, and \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/24/upshot/how-redlinings-racist-effects-lasted-for-decades.html\">home ownership opportunities\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There is a reason why the typical white household today has 16 times the wealth of a typical Black household,” Penniman says, noting that the gap is “often traceable back to slavery.” According to the \u003ca href=\"https://www.brookings.edu/blog/social-mobility-memos/2015/01/30/wealth-inheritance-and-social-mobility/\">Brookings Institute\u003c/a>, 35 to 45 percent of wealth in the U.S. is inherited rather than self-made and a recent report from the Center for American Progress on \u003ca href=\"https://www.americanprogress.org/issues/race/reports/2018/02/21/447051/systematic-inequality/\">disparities in wealth\u003c/a> between Blacks and whites suggests that long-held, structural racism is the biggest reason for the gap.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_128796\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1203px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/180604-farm-reparations-soul-fire-group.jpg\" alt=\"The farm team.\" width=\"1203\" height=\"800\" class=\"size-full wp-image-128796\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/180604-farm-reparations-soul-fire-group.jpg 1203w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/180604-farm-reparations-soul-fire-group-160x106.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/180604-farm-reparations-soul-fire-group-800x532.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/180604-farm-reparations-soul-fire-group-768x511.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/180604-farm-reparations-soul-fire-group-1020x678.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/180604-farm-reparations-soul-fire-group-1200x798.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/180604-farm-reparations-soul-fire-group-1180x785.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/180604-farm-reparations-soul-fire-group-960x638.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/180604-farm-reparations-soul-fire-group-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/180604-farm-reparations-soul-fire-group-375x249.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/180604-farm-reparations-soul-fire-group-520x346.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1203px) 100vw, 1203px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The farm team. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Soul Fire Farm)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Many organizations and individuals have called for \u003ca href=\"https://abcnews.go.com/2020/story?id=124115&page=1\">reparations\u003c/a>—financial payments made today to help make good on the systemic injustices of the past 400 years—as a way to begin to level the playing field and create equity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Penniman’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?ll=40.604072549190256%2C-79.89249229375002&z=6&mid=1YvB3PuH8jeR_yoFCLvrKOTQQ3p_5NmkK\">online mapping tool\u003c/a> currently includes 52 organizations around the country led by farmers of color who are calling for reparations. The map details farmers in need of land, resources, and funding, and aims to connect them with organizations, foundations, and individual donors to support their work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Clicking on one of the participating farms on the map reveals details of its operations, its needs, and how to engage with the people who run it. Penniman is careful to point out that the reparations map is an effort designed to be complementary to, but not a substitute for, the larger national effort for reparations being coordinated by the \u003ca href=\"http://www.blackfoodjustice.org/\">National Black Food and Justice Alliance\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>\u003cstrong>The History of Reparations\u003c/strong>\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>The call for reparations dates back to the federal government’s failure make good on its promise of “40 acres and a mule” to newly freed slaves after the Civil War under General William T. Sherman’s \u003ca href=\"http://ldhi.library.cofc.edu/exhibits/show/after_slavery_educator/unit_three_documents/document_five\">Special Field Order No. 15\u003c/a>, created in January of 1865, and later approved by President Lincoln. By June of the same year, 40,000 freedmen had been settled on 400,000 acres of what was known as Sherman Land in the South.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The money generated from farming that land gave Black families the opportunity to create financial mobility and economic security. By 1920, Black Americans owned \u003ca href=\"https://grist.org/food/what-happened-to-americas-black-farmers/\">925,000 farms\u003c/a>, or 14 percent of the farms in the U.S. at that time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet, the promise didn’t last. Over time, millions of farmers, including 600,000 Blacks, \u003ca href=\"https://www.thenation.com/article/african-americans-have-lost-acres/\">lost their farms\u003c/a>—often because they lacked legal deeds to the land. By 1975, just 45,000 Black-owned farms remained. The 2012 Census of Agriculture estimated that Black farmers now make up \u003ca href=\"http://www.agcensus.usda.gov/Publications/2012/Online_Resources/Highlights/Black_Farmers/Highlights_Black_Farmers.pdf\">less than 2 percent\u003c/a> of the nation’s farmers and 1 percent of rural landowners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Penniman, the promised 40 acres and a mule would be worth $6.4 trillion collectively today. The call for reparations, and efforts like the map, are ways to help make Black farmers and their families whole. Penniman says her group used Google Maps to build the tool because “it’s simple to use and decentralized,” although she says she would love for “a techy person to take this over at some point and make the platform more sophisticated.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The process is simple: Farmers file an application and Soul Fire adds their information to the map. From there the farmer can go into the map and make changes and add information on his or her own farm or needs. “We found that the mapping was more visually engaging compared to using a spreadsheet. Everyone can edit their own pin on the map without a gatekeeper,” Penniman says of the farmers who apply to be a part of the project. To date, more than 53,000 people have visited the map.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>\u003cstrong>The Birth of the Reparations Map\u003c/strong>\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>The original idea to take on reparations came out of a conversation Penniman had with Viviana Moreno, a farmer from Chicago, at Soul Fire Farm’s Black and Latinx Farmers Immersion (BLFI) program. “We were all talking about two farms, Harmony Homestead and Wildseed, as examples of reparations and restoration, and she said we need more of this type of people-to-people giving,” Penniman says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The realities of being Black, Indigenous, and brown people in the United States means many of us have little to no access to land, [or] many of the resources needed to run a small vegetable farm sustainably,” Moreno says. “As we were discussing this, I asked Penniman ‘Why, if there are so many of us, don’t we create a sort of database that would feature all of our collective needs and projects?’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Penniman liked the idea, and she gathered with a group of Black and brown farmers to create the map over the next few months. As soon as it was up, the group sent invitations to all the farmer-alumni from the BLFI program, as well as to other Black, Indigenous, and brown farmers, asking them to add their projects to the map.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The farms and projects currently listed on the map are broadly diverse: Farmers identify as Black, Indigenous, Latinx, and multi-racial, hail from large cities and rural communities, and are seeking help getting started or expanding their work to reach more farmers and eaters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Moreno’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?ll=41.86956080000001%2C-88.16528319999998&z=18&mid=1YvB3PuH8jeR_yoFCLvrKOTQQ3p_5NmkK\">Catatumbo Cooperative Farm\u003c/a> is now listed on the reparations map, seeking funds to start farming land in rural Illinois. Moreno and her partners, Jazmin Martinez and Nadia Sol Ireri Unzueta Carrasco, are all queer, immigrant worker-owners. Their long-term goal is to acquire land in rural Illinois while maintaining a connection to communities in Chicago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eduardo Rivera is another farmer that signed on to the reparations map. Currently leasing land outside of Minneapolis for \u003ca href=\"https://sinfronterasfarm.com/our-farm/\">Sin Fronteras Farm\u003c/a>, he hopes to use the map to help him buy land or secure a much longer-term lease than his current leased lands. “I signed on after I saw what Soul Fire was doing and was hoping that it will help me acquire the land I need,” Rivera says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Being organic gives you more opportunities and access,” he says. “My plans are to grow organic year-round, but I can’t do that on leased land—I think the cost is prohibitive.” Rivera hopes to expand his operations to grow more foods for the Latinx/Mexicanx community and also create an incubator for other indigenous farmers and farmers of color. While it is still too soon to know if the mapping project will get him the land he needs, he says it has gotten him noticed, and he is hopeful.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_128795\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1200px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/180604-farm-reparations-sin-fronteras.jpg\" alt=\"Eduardo Rivera in the fields at Sin Fronteras Farm and Food.\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" class=\"size-full wp-image-128795\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/180604-farm-reparations-sin-fronteras.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/180604-farm-reparations-sin-fronteras-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/180604-farm-reparations-sin-fronteras-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/180604-farm-reparations-sin-fronteras-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/180604-farm-reparations-sin-fronteras-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/180604-farm-reparations-sin-fronteras-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/180604-farm-reparations-sin-fronteras-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/180604-farm-reparations-sin-fronteras-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/180604-farm-reparations-sin-fronteras-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/180604-farm-reparations-sin-fronteras-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Eduardo Rivera in the fields at Sin Fronteras Farm and Food. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Sin Fronteras)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>According to Penniman, there were other projects that informed and inspired them in creating the reparations map. \u003ca href=\"http://www.ncagr.gov/SmallFarms/PigfordIISettlementdocx031011.pdf\">Pigford v. Glickman\u003c/a>, the famous 1990s lawsuit from Black farmers who sued the USDA for racial bias in its lending practices, was the largest civil rights settlement in U.S. history, and it still was not enough to stem the tide of Black land loss, according to Penniman. But she adds that they cannot rely on organizing around policy alone. “We need to rely on reaching out, and touching hearts, and catalyzing action in our communities.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Soul Fire Farms trains farmers to become advocates for reparations. “Someone has to be doing the right storytelling and facing the foundations,” she says. They are calling upon funders to be partners in helping to make Black and brown farmers whole. “It’s not just about money. It’s about power and control. It should be the people who are directly affected who have that power and that control, not those who inherited extracted wealth,” Penniman says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Penniman has a list of specific actions for foundations and other donors who want to help end racism in the food system as part of her upcoming book, \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://www.soulfirefarm.org/media/farming-while-black/\">Farming While Black: Soul Fire Farm’s Definitive Guide to Liberation on Land\u003c/a>\u003c/em>. “Some of the things foundations can do are to have more geographic, class, and racial equity, prioritizing funding for the Deep South and underfunded regions, as well as, streamline the reporting and applications process,” she says. “They need to transform the expectations and relationships tied to their funding to support the organizers on the frontlines.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Being a part of the project also helps us to start a discussion about issues around land justice, reparations, solidarity economies, and much more,” says Moreno. She adds that it is important because their work is not independent of other issues our communities face. “We definitely want to receive tangible resources, yet we are also looking to engage in conversations where we creatively think about what distribution of resources and wealth means and how to center the needs of historically oppressed communities.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Penniman says that both systemic and policy change are important. “Some policies that we should all advocate for [include] passing \u003ca href=\"https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/house-bill/40\">H.R. 40\u003c/a>,” Rep. John Conyers’ \u003ca href=\"https://www.motherjones.com/crime-justice/2017/09/in-some-parallel-universe-congress-is-debating-how-america-could-atone-for-slavery-1/\">long-introduced but never-discussed proposal\u003c/a> for a commission to study and develop proposals for reparations to African-Americans. Penniman says the bill could lead to such restorative solutions as a guaranteed minimum or \u003ca href=\"https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2017/01/why-we-should-all-have-a-basic-income/\">universal basic income\u003c/a> to cover all basic needs and free and universal education for pre-K through university.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the reparations movement in the U.S. gets the most attention, Penniman points out that it isn’t the only place that is dealing with issues of land and money stolen from farmers of color. “I think there’s a lot of groups within \u003ca href=\"https://viacampesina.org/en/\">Via Campesina\u003c/a>, the international peasant movement, that have called for reparations as well,” she says. “Our work here is echoing that larger global movement in calling for the return of stolen land and resources.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This article was originally published on\u003c/em> \u003ca href=\"https://civileats.com/2018/06/04/a-reparations-map-for-farmers-may-help-right-historical-wrongs/\">\u003cem>Civil Eats\u003c/em>\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\n",

She adds that those numbers don’t include the many other ways Black and brown people have been excluded from the tools that have allowed white people to succeed for centuries, such as \u003ca href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2015/oct/13/your-credit-score-is-racist-heres-why\">access to credit\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://www.colorlines.com/articles/study-report-explores-how-institutional-racism-derails-education-black-boys\">education\u003c/a>, and \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/24/upshot/how-redlinings-racist-effects-lasted-for-decades.html\">home ownership opportunities\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There is a reason why the typical white household today has 16 times the wealth of a typical Black household,” Penniman says, noting that the gap is “often traceable back to slavery.” According to the \u003ca href=\"https://www.brookings.edu/blog/social-mobility-memos/2015/01/30/wealth-inheritance-and-social-mobility/\">Brookings Institute\u003c/a>, 35 to 45 percent of wealth in the U.S. is inherited rather than self-made and a recent report from the Center for American Progress on \u003ca href=\"https://www.americanprogress.org/issues/race/reports/2018/02/21/447051/systematic-inequality/\">disparities in wealth\u003c/a> between Blacks and whites suggests that long-held, structural racism is the biggest reason for the gap.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_128796\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1203px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/180604-farm-reparations-soul-fire-group.jpg\" alt=\"The farm team.\" width=\"1203\" height=\"800\" class=\"size-full wp-image-128796\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/180604-farm-reparations-soul-fire-group.jpg 1203w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/180604-farm-reparations-soul-fire-group-160x106.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/180604-farm-reparations-soul-fire-group-800x532.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/180604-farm-reparations-soul-fire-group-768x511.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/180604-farm-reparations-soul-fire-group-1020x678.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/180604-farm-reparations-soul-fire-group-1200x798.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/180604-farm-reparations-soul-fire-group-1180x785.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/180604-farm-reparations-soul-fire-group-960x638.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/180604-farm-reparations-soul-fire-group-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/180604-farm-reparations-soul-fire-group-375x249.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/180604-farm-reparations-soul-fire-group-520x346.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1203px) 100vw, 1203px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The farm team. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Soul Fire Farm)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Many organizations and individuals have called for \u003ca href=\"https://abcnews.go.com/2020/story?id=124115&page=1\">reparations\u003c/a>—financial payments made today to help make good on the systemic injustices of the past 400 years—as a way to begin to level the playing field and create equity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The map details farmers in need of land, resources, and funding, and aims to connect them with organizations, foundations, and individual donors to support their work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Clicking on one of the participating farms on the map reveals details of its operations, its needs, and how to engage with the people who run it. Penniman is careful to point out that the reparations map is an effort designed to be complementary to, but not a substitute for, the larger national effort for reparations being coordinated by the \u003ca href=\"http://www.blackfoodjustice.org/\">National Black Food and Justice Alliance\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>\u003cstrong>The History of Reparations\u003c/strong>\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>The call for reparations dates back to the federal government’s failure make good on its promise of “40 acres and a mule” to newly freed slaves after the Civil War under General William T. Sherman’s \u003ca href=\"http://ldhi.library.cofc.edu/exhibits/show/after_slavery_educator/unit_three_documents/document_five\">Special Field Order No. 15\u003c/a>, created in January of 1865, and later approved by President Lincoln. By June of the same year, 40,000 freedmen had been settled on 400,000 acres of what was known as Sherman Land in the South.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The money generated from farming that land gave Black families the opportunity to create financial mobility and economic security. By 1920, Black Americans owned \u003ca href=\"https://grist.org/food/what-happened-to-americas-black-farmers/\">925,000 farms\u003c/a>, or 14 percent of the farms in the U.S. at that time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet, the promise didn’t last. Over time, millions of farmers, including 600,000 Blacks, \u003ca href=\"https://www.thenation.com/article/african-americans-have-lost-acres/\">lost their farms\u003c/a>—often because they lacked legal deeds to the land. By 1975, just 45,000 Black-owned farms remained. The 2012 Census of Agriculture estimated that Black farmers now make up \u003ca href=\"http://www.agcensus.usda.gov/Publications/2012/Online_Resources/Highlights/Black_Farmers/Highlights_Black_Farmers.pdf\">less than 2 percent\u003c/a> of the nation’s farmers and 1 percent of rural landowners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Penniman, the promised 40 acres and a mule would be worth $6.4 trillion collectively today. The call for reparations, and efforts like the map, are ways to help make Black farmers and their families whole. Penniman says her group used Google Maps to build the tool because “it’s simple to use and decentralized,” although she says she would love for “a techy person to take this over at some point and make the platform more sophisticated.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The process is simple: Farmers file an application and Soul Fire adds their information to the map. From there the farmer can go into the map and make changes and add information on his or her own farm or needs. “We found that the mapping was more visually engaging compared to using a spreadsheet. Everyone can edit their own pin on the map without a gatekeeper,” Penniman says of the farmers who apply to be a part of the project. To date, more than 53,000 people have visited the map.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>\u003cstrong>The Birth of the Reparations Map\u003c/strong>\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>The original idea to take on reparations came out of a conversation Penniman had with Viviana Moreno, a farmer from Chicago, at Soul Fire Farm’s Black and Latinx Farmers Immersion (BLFI) program. “We were all talking about two farms, Harmony Homestead and Wildseed, as examples of reparations and restoration, and she said we need more of this type of people-to-people giving,” Penniman says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The realities of being Black, Indigenous, and brown people in the United States means many of us have little to no access to land, [or] many of the resources needed to run a small vegetable farm sustainably,” Moreno says. “As we were discussing this, I asked Penniman ‘Why, if there are so many of us, don’t we create a sort of database that would feature all of our collective needs and projects?’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Penniman liked the idea, and she gathered with a group of Black and brown farmers to create the map over the next few months. As soon as it was up, the group sent invitations to all the farmer-alumni from the BLFI program, as well as to other Black, Indigenous, and brown farmers, asking them to add their projects to the map.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The farms and projects currently listed on the map are broadly diverse: Farmers identify as Black, Indigenous, Latinx, and multi-racial, hail from large cities and rural communities, and are seeking help getting started or expanding their work to reach more farmers and eaters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Moreno’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?ll=41.86956080000001%2C-88.16528319999998&z=18&mid=1YvB3PuH8jeR_yoFCLvrKOTQQ3p_5NmkK\">Catatumbo Cooperative Farm\u003c/a> is now listed on the reparations map, seeking funds to start farming land in rural Illinois. Moreno and her partners, Jazmin Martinez and Nadia Sol Ireri Unzueta Carrasco, are all queer, immigrant worker-owners. Their long-term goal is to acquire land in rural Illinois while maintaining a connection to communities in Chicago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eduardo Rivera is another farmer that signed on to the reparations map. Currently leasing land outside of Minneapolis for \u003ca href=\"https://sinfronterasfarm.com/our-farm/\">Sin Fronteras Farm\u003c/a>, he hopes to use the map to help him buy land or secure a much longer-term lease than his current leased lands. “I signed on after I saw what Soul Fire was doing and was hoping that it will help me acquire the land I need,” Rivera says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Being organic gives you more opportunities and access,” he says. “My plans are to grow organic year-round, but I can’t do that on leased land—I think the cost is prohibitive.” Rivera hopes to expand his operations to grow more foods for the Latinx/Mexicanx community and also create an incubator for other indigenous farmers and farmers of color. While it is still too soon to know if the mapping project will get him the land he needs, he says it has gotten him noticed, and he is hopeful.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_128795\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1200px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/180604-farm-reparations-sin-fronteras.jpg\" alt=\"Eduardo Rivera in the fields at Sin Fronteras Farm and Food.\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" class=\"size-full wp-image-128795\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/180604-farm-reparations-sin-fronteras.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/180604-farm-reparations-sin-fronteras-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/180604-farm-reparations-sin-fronteras-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/180604-farm-reparations-sin-fronteras-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/180604-farm-reparations-sin-fronteras-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/180604-farm-reparations-sin-fronteras-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/180604-farm-reparations-sin-fronteras-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/180604-farm-reparations-sin-fronteras-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/180604-farm-reparations-sin-fronteras-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/06/180604-farm-reparations-sin-fronteras-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Eduardo Rivera in the fields at Sin Fronteras Farm and Food. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Sin Fronteras)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>According to Penniman, there were other projects that informed and inspired them in creating the reparations map. \u003ca href=\"http://www.ncagr.gov/SmallFarms/PigfordIISettlementdocx031011.pdf\">Pigford v. Glickman\u003c/a>, the famous 1990s lawsuit from Black farmers who sued the USDA for racial bias in its lending practices, was the largest civil rights settlement in U.S. history, and it still was not enough to stem the tide of Black land loss, according to Penniman. But she adds that they cannot rely on organizing around policy alone. “We need to rely on reaching out, and touching hearts, and catalyzing action in our communities.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Soul Fire Farms trains farmers to become advocates for reparations. “Someone has to be doing the right storytelling and facing the foundations,” she says. They are calling upon funders to be partners in helping to make Black and brown farmers whole. “It’s not just about money. It’s about power and control. It should be the people who are directly affected who have that power and that control, not those who inherited extracted wealth,” Penniman says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Penniman has a list of specific actions for foundations and other donors who want to help end racism in the food system as part of her upcoming book, \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://www.soulfirefarm.org/media/farming-while-black/\">Farming While Black: Soul Fire Farm’s Definitive Guide to Liberation on Land\u003c/a>\u003c/em>. “Some of the things foundations can do are to have more geographic, class, and racial equity, prioritizing funding for the Deep South and underfunded regions, as well as, streamline the reporting and applications process,” she says. “They need to transform the expectations and relationships tied to their funding to support the organizers on the frontlines.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Being a part of the project also helps us to start a discussion about issues around land justice, reparations, solidarity economies, and much more,” says Moreno. She adds that it is important because their work is not independent of other issues our communities face. “We definitely want to receive tangible resources, yet we are also looking to engage in conversations where we creatively think about what distribution of resources and wealth means and how to center the needs of historically oppressed communities.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Penniman says that both systemic and policy change are important. “Some policies that we should all advocate for [include] passing \u003ca href=\"https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/house-bill/40\">H.R. 40\u003c/a>,” Rep. John Conyers’ \u003ca href=\"https://www.motherjones.com/crime-justice/2017/09/in-some-parallel-universe-congress-is-debating-how-america-could-atone-for-slavery-1/\">long-introduced but never-discussed proposal\u003c/a> for a commission to study and develop proposals for reparations to African-Americans. Penniman says the bill could lead to such restorative solutions as a guaranteed minimum or \u003ca href=\"https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2017/01/why-we-should-all-have-a-basic-income/\">universal basic income\u003c/a> to cover all basic needs and free and universal education for pre-K through university.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the reparations movement in the U.S. gets the most attention, Penniman points out that it isn’t the only place that is dealing with issues of land and money stolen from farmers of color. “I think there’s a lot of groups within \u003ca href=\"https://viacampesina.org/en/\">Via Campesina\u003c/a>, the international peasant movement, that have called for reparations as well,” she says. “Our work here is echoing that larger global movement in calling for the return of stolen land and resources.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

One \u003ca href=\"http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0111913\">2014 study\u003c/a> estimated there are 270,000 metric tons — and more than 5 trillion particles — of plastic in the world's oceans. Straws and stirrers make up more than 7 percent of plastic products found in the environment, according to \u003ca href=\"https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5522e85be4b0b65a7c78ac96/t/5aa0618a8165f553aa68b8b8/1520631281665/5+Gyres+BAN+List2.pdf\">Better Alternatives Now\u003c/a>, or BAN 2.0, an analysis done by several pollution research groups.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>New York City Councilman Rafael L.

Plastic straws happen to be one of those [products].\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bill would require that all establishments that serve food or drinks — from Yankee stadium to street food vendors — phase out plastic straws by 2020. Espinal says he hopes to get the bill passed by the end of this summer, adding that \u003ca href=\"http://abc7ny.com/society/councilman-introduces-bill-to-ban-plastic-straws-in-nyc/3513252/\">Mayor Bill de Blasio is already on board\u003c/a> to support the ban.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Companies including Alaska Airlines, as well as educational institutions such as University of Portland and Knox College, have also moved to ban plastic straws.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the United Kingdom, several McDonald's locations have \u003ca href=\"https://news.sky.com/story/mcdonalds-to-start-phasing-out-plastic-straws-from-its-uk-restaurants-11306411?dcmp=snt-sf-twitter\">begun testing paper straws and putting plastic straws\u003c/a> behind the counter. However, last week McDonald's \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/5d6c3749abea4ebc9663ea22937f31f6\">voted down a shareholder proposal to study the issue\u003c/a> at the chain's 37,000 locations globally. The fast-food giant's distinctive striped straws are the second-most common brand found in the environment, according to the BAN 2.0 report. The most common: the bright green Starbucks straw.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.marcuseriksen.com/\">Marcus Eriksen\u003c/a> is the co-founder of the \u003ca href=\"https://www.5gyres.org/\">5 Gyres Institute\u003c/a>, a nonprofit that focuses on reducing plastics pollution, and a contributor to the BAN 2.0 paper and the 2014 study on ocean plastic pollution. He says straws are part of a larger movement to reduce the use of plastics in our daily lives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Straws are just the next of many,\" Eriksen says. \"Microbeads, plastic bags, styrofoam — they're all on the way out.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some companies are exploring alternatives to plastic straws made of paper or wood. Other businesses have gotten creative, like Paradise Cove restaurant in Malibu, Calif., which now uses compostable, edible pasta in place of plastic straws.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are also reusable straws made of silicon, glass and metal on the market. And some businesses have instituted a policy where customers must explicitly request a straw — plastic or otherwise — in order to get one. That's the law in Santa Cruz, Calif., which not only has banned plastic straws but also plastic cutlery and hot beverage lids. Nowadays, the city's food vendors can only provide straws, lids, cutlery and condiment packages if a customer requests them — even if these products are made from compostable materials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>New York Councilman Espinal likewise hopes to push his city to eliminate other plastics beyond straws. Another bill he introduced last week would prohibit vendors in parks and beaches from selling beverages in plastic bottles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Espinal says he's gotten largely positive feedback for his call to decrease plastic waste. Hundreds of bars and restaurants in New York have already moved to phase out plastic straws of their own accord.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There's a lot of support and this greater consciousness that this is the right thing to do,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">\u003cem>Copyright 2018 NPR. \u003c/em>\u003c/div>\n\n",

However, last week McDonald's \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/5d6c3749abea4ebc9663ea22937f31f6\">voted down a shareholder proposal to study the issue\u003c/a> at the chain's 37,000 locations globally. The fast-food giant's distinctive striped straws are the second-most common brand found in the environment, according to the BAN 2.0 report. The most common: the bright green Starbucks straw.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.marcuseriksen.com/\">Marcus Eriksen\u003c/a> is the co-founder of the \u003ca href=\"https://www.5gyres.org/\">5 Gyres Institute\u003c/a>, a nonprofit that focuses on reducing plastics pollution, and a contributor to the BAN 2.0 paper and the 2014 study on ocean plastic pollution. He says straws are part of a larger movement to reduce the use of plastics in our daily lives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Straws are just the next of many,\" Eriksen says. \"Microbeads, plastic bags, styrofoam — they're all on the way out.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some companies are exploring alternatives to plastic straws made of paper or wood. Other businesses have gotten creative, like Paradise Cove restaurant in Malibu, Calif., which now uses compostable, edible pasta in place of plastic straws.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are also reusable straws made of silicon, glass and metal on the market. And some businesses have instituted a policy where customers must explicitly request a straw — plastic or otherwise — in order to get one. That's the law in Santa Cruz, Calif., which not only has banned plastic straws but also plastic cutlery and hot beverage lids. Nowadays, the city's food vendors can only provide straws, lids, cutlery and condiment packages if a customer requests them — even if these products are made from compostable materials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>New York Councilman Espinal likewise hopes to push his city to eliminate other plastics beyond straws. Another bill he introduced last week would prohibit vendors in parks and beaches from selling beverages in plastic bottles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Espinal says he's gotten largely positive feedback for his call to decrease plastic waste. Hundreds of bars and restaurants in New York have already moved to phase out plastic straws of their own accord.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There's a lot of support and this greater consciousness that this is the right thing to do,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">\u003cem>Copyright 2018 NPR. \u003c/em>\u003c/div>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

In March, she and her sister Maria* travelled to New York City with the Coalition of Immokalee Workers’ (CIW) five-day\u003ca href=\"http://www.boycott-wendys.org/why-we-fast/\"> Freedom Fast\u003c/a>, where they joined 100 farmworkers and 24 children of farmworkers in an effort to bring attention to the group’s \u003ca href=\"https://civileats.com/2018/03/19/floridas-farmworkers-take-their-fight-to-park-avenue/\">campaign to urge Wendy’s to sign on to their Fair Food Program\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The group fasted on Park Avenue in Midtown Manhattan, sometimes chanting loudly, sometimes silently, some with their mouths covered by wide black tape. Even while hungry in the snow and rain, the fasters displayed bravery, conviction, and a grounded strength.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Raquel and Maria don’t work in the fields, although they did try it out when they were eight and 10. Their father disapproved of the idea, but the girls persisted and went to harvest tomatoes one day. “I thought I would like it but after the first day, I was like ‘No. I can’t believe people are doing this,’” Raquel says. “It’s like a nightmare.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the girls aren’t just disturbed by long days spent doing back-breaking labor. “Rape is one of my biggest fears,” says Raquel. “I’m haunted by the idea of it.” Maria says she is, too.

On many of the farms where Raquel’s parents worked up and down the East Coast, farmworkers describe coercion, catcalls, groping, and assault from crew leaders, supervisors, and even fellow workers as their “\u003ca href=\"http://ciw-online.org/blog/2017/10/letter-farmworker-women-to-wendys-ceo/\">daily bread\u003c/a>” in the fields. A\u003ca href=\"http://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/1077801209360857\"> study \u003c/a>found that four out of five female farmworkers experience sexual violence at work. Women are often dependent on male supervisors for employment, housing, and transportation. Claims against harassers are largely processed by male managers, police officers, and judges, and retaliation for complaints is the norm.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Isolating physically and socially, the informal work environment of commercial agriculture on many farms creates a “hustle culture” that threatens workers’ immediate safety and long-term health. In crop work, for example, portable toilets are often placed far from the fields, a tactic that keeps them from taking breaks, said Nely Rodriguez, a CIW leader. Workers must obtain permission to use the bathroom, which creates uncomfortable situations as women find themselves alone with crew leaders. “It’s easy for unwanted things to happen between the rows. You’re in their territory, so it’s easy for them to find and entrap you. I saw this in my own case,” Rodriguez says, who felt corralled because her former boss carried a pistol.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The advent of CIW’s \u003ca href=\"http://www.fairfoodprogram.org/\">Fair Food Program\u003c/a> has changed that culture significantly; alongside the #MeToo and \u003ca href=\"https://www.timesupnow.com/\">Time’s Up\u003c/a> movements, the Fair Food Program is sparking change for workers and women in many industries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CIW has sought to secure workers’ rights through the legal system and individual compensation. “We tried that first,” CIW leader Cruz Salucio explained during a workshop that he conducted with Silvia Perez on the Park Avenue sidewalk during the picket. “There were just [a small number of labor] inspectors in Florida monitoring the fields. They let farms know when they’d be visiting, so growers cleaned up the bathrooms and lunch areas before they came. Women didn’t feel comfortable raising problems with the monitors.” Salucio expressed similar concerns about corporate social responsibility programs that can fail to monitor and enforce standards.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Freedom Fast called on Wendy’s—which has gone to great lengths to avoid signing on to the Fair Food Program, including \u003ca href=\"https://civileats.com/2016/03/17/tomato-workers-call-for-wendys-boycott-after-the-chain-shifts-its-sourcing-to-mexico/\">shifting their supply chain to Mexico\u003c/a>—to join farmworkers who have improved working conditions and wages in Florida’s $650 million tomato industry and in seven other states.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The vision of this immigrant worker-led human rights organization—to create a world without victims—also seeks to eradicate gender-based violence in U.S. agriculture and other industries throughout the world. Its Fair Food Program has been hailed in the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission’s\u003ca href=\"https://onlabor.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/report.pdf\"> Select Task Force on the Study of Harassment in the Workplace\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>\u003cstrong>Fair Food Program: Protecting Women Farmworkers\u003c/strong>\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>The program is also the first full-functioning example of a new model for protecting human rights for low-wage workers, dubbed “worker-driven social responsibility” (or “WSR” to distinguish it from the long-established practice of corporate social responsibility, “CSR”). CIW’s initiative was \u003ca href=\"https://civileats.com/2014/01/17/labor-takes-historic-stride-forward-as-walmart-joins-fair-food-program/\">recognized by the United Nations Working Group on Business and Human Rights\u003c/a> for its “smart mix” of tools, and received a 2015 \u003ca href=\"https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/blog/2015/01/29/combating-human-trafficking-supply-chains\">Presidential Medal\u003c/a> from President Obama.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The WSR approach is distinguished from CSR by the fact that its design emerges from the very community most affected by the exploitation it was created to prevent and extinguish. In Immokalee’s case, the Fair Food Program was built by and for workers like Rodriguez, Salucio, and Perez. This is important not so much for ideological as for practical reasons.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/05/180521-fair-food-program-protest-2-700x870.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-128567\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/05/180521-fair-food-program-protest-2-700x870.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"870\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/05/180521-fair-food-program-protest-2-700x870.jpg 700w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/05/180521-fair-food-program-protest-2-700x870-160x199.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/05/180521-fair-food-program-protest-2-700x870-240x298.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/05/180521-fair-food-program-protest-2-700x870-375x466.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/05/180521-fair-food-program-protest-2-700x870-520x646.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\">\u003c/a>“The myriad ways in which perpetrators can be abusive is spectacularly creative—if you stop abuse in one place it pops up in another,” said Cathy Albisa, director of the\u003ca href=\"https://www.nesri.org/about/staff\"> National Economic & Social Rights Initiative\u003c/a>, which houses a growing \u003ca href=\"https://wsr-network.org/\">WSR Network\u003c/a>, a coalition of worker and human rights organizations. “Only the worker knows all the different ways this happens and how to design a program that stops it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite its goal of ending sexual harassment, the Fair Food Program was not designed as a sexual harassment program. “While counterintuitive, you can’t end gender-based violence by working directly on gender-based violence,” Albisa explained. “You can only end gender-based violence by working on structural issues that enable it, and those also shape the wider array of abuses affecting the whole community.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By rectifying long-standing power imbalances, WSR drills into the foundation of the problem, addressing multiple abuses simultaneously. No gender-based violence programs have achieved the same amount of leverage in fostering change, noted Albisa, who has been working in women’s and social justice movements for the past two decades.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A central mechanism of WSR is the enforcement of its standards through the application of strict market consequences for the most egregious human rights violations. In the case of the Fair Food Program, “zero tolerance” for abuses like slavery and sexual assault is backed up by a system of enforcement. Since the program was launched in 2011, seven growers were suspended for violations, 12 supervisors were terminated for sexual harassment, and 36 supervisors were disciplined for sexual harassment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Cruz Salucio explained, “It’s like we have a basket of apples, and we keep on removing the bad ones,” so the culture of worker health and safety keeps getting stronger. Credible threats of lost employment and business are potent incentives for industry-wide compliance that can lead to structural change. Disciplinary actions, supervisor re-training, and effective human resources stop the recurrence of violence, according to the\u003ca href=\"http://www.fairfoodstandards.org/\"> Fair Food Standards Council\u003c/a>, the program’s third-party monitoring body led by a former New York State Supreme Court Justice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://fairfoodstandards.org/2017-annual-report.pdf\">Grievance data\u003c/a> on farms participating in the program reveal that, although the number of complaints has not gone down since the beginning of the program, the severity of complaints has lessened. Fair Food Standards Council investigators say that in the last eight years, they have received and investigated over 2,000 worker complaints and that the program has brought an end to impunity for discrimination and other forms of gender-based violence on participating farms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Their just-released \u003ca href=\"http://www.fairfoodstandards.org/reports/\">report\u003c/a> indicates that there have been no reported cases of rape and attempted rape since the 2011 season, when the program was put in place, and cases of sexual harassment with physical contact by supervisors have been virtually eliminated (only one such case has been reported since 2013). Spending time with workers during Fair Food Standards Council audits reveals their confidence and eloquence as they speak to issues that concern them.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>\u003cstrong>WSR in Other Industries\u003c/strong>\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>The Fair Food Program is not only improving the lives of farmworkers in Florida; it’s also serving as a blueprint for change in other industries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vermont’s\u003ca href=\"https://migrantjustice.net/\"> Migrant Justice\u003c/a>, a worker-led human rights organization, \u003ca href=\"https://civileats.com/2017/10/04/ben-jerrys-pledges-to-protect-dairy-workers-rights/\">recently launched\u003c/a>\u003ca href=\"http://milkwithdignity.org/\"> Milk with Dignity\u003c/a>, the program’s first major adaptation, and the group is already working with its first corporate partner, global ice cream maker Ben & Jerry’s.

With Milk with Dignity, it will be safer for women to be on farms, so the organization brought on more women field organizers to educate and raise awareness about sexual violence. “I can feel the change in attitude and responses of women to abuses. It’s a new day. It’s really amazing,” added Canedo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the heels of Migrant Justice’s WSR launch,\u003ca href=\"http://modelalliance.org/\"> Model Alliance\u003c/a>—an advocacy organization focused on combating sexual assault of the fashion industry—is consulting with CIW and the \u003ca href=\"https://www.workersrights.org/\">Worker Rights Consortium\u003c/a> in the development of a \u003ca href=\"http://modelalliance.org/conde-nast-announces-code-of-conduct\">code of conduct and enforcement regime\u003c/a> based on the Fair Food Program. Though farm laborers and fashion models have very different work environments, women’s experiences of sexual misconduct are similar across industries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Unlike farmworkers, fashion models are highly visible, and while their job appears to be glamorous, the reality of models’ working lives can be far from it,” Model Alliance’s Executive Director Sara Ziff told Civil Eats. Working models experience chronic harassment, pressures to sacrifice their health to be thin, and lack of financial transparency and timely pay. In some cases, models are children working in debt to agencies. “Without clear penalties for violations and proper complaint and enforcement mechanisms, [efforts] fall short of protecting the people who are vulnerable to abuse.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Echoing CIW leaders’ worries, Ziff observes that neither legal protections nor companies’ internal policies introduced in the wake of the #MeToo and Time’s Up movements have proven adequate to prevent assault.

In crop work, for example, portable toilets are often placed far from the fields, a tactic that keeps them from taking breaks, said Nely Rodriguez, a CIW leader. Workers must obtain permission to use the bathroom, which creates uncomfortable situations as women find themselves alone with crew leaders. “It’s easy for unwanted things to happen between the rows. You’re in their territory, so it’s easy for them to find and entrap you. I saw this in my own case,” Rodriguez says, who felt corralled because her former boss carried a pistol.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The advent of CIW’s \u003ca href=\"http://www.fairfoodprogram.org/\">Fair Food Program\u003c/a> has changed that culture significantly; alongside the #MeToo and \u003ca href=\"https://www.timesupnow.com/\">Time’s Up\u003c/a> movements, the Fair Food Program is sparking change for workers and women in many industries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CIW has sought to secure workers’ rights through the legal system and individual compensation. “We tried that first,” CIW leader Cruz Salucio explained during a workshop that he conducted with Silvia Perez on the Park Avenue sidewalk during the picket. “There were just [a small number of labor] inspectors in Florida monitoring the fields. They let farms know when they’d be visiting, so growers cleaned up the bathrooms and lunch areas before they came. Women didn’t feel comfortable raising problems with the monitors.” Salucio expressed similar concerns about corporate social responsibility programs that can fail to monitor and enforce standards.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Freedom Fast called on Wendy’s—which has gone to great lengths to avoid signing on to the Fair Food Program, including \u003ca href=\"https://civileats.com/2016/03/17/tomato-workers-call-for-wendys-boycott-after-the-chain-shifts-its-sourcing-to-mexico/\">shifting their supply chain to Mexico\u003c/a>—to join farmworkers who have improved working conditions and wages in Florida’s $650 million tomato industry and in seven other states.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The vision of this immigrant worker-led human rights organization—to create a world without victims—also seeks to eradicate gender-based violence in U.S. agriculture and other industries throughout the world. Its Fair Food Program has been hailed in the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission’s\u003ca href=\"https://onlabor.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/report.pdf\"> Select Task Force on the Study of Harassment in the Workplace\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>\u003cstrong>Fair Food Program: Protecting Women Farmworkers\u003c/strong>\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>The program is also the first full-functioning example of a new model for protecting human rights for low-wage workers, dubbed “worker-driven social responsibility” (or “WSR” to distinguish it from the long-established practice of corporate social responsibility, “CSR”). CIW’s initiative was \u003ca href=\"https://civileats.com/2014/01/17/labor-takes-historic-stride-forward-as-walmart-joins-fair-food-program/\">recognized by the United Nations Working Group on Business and Human Rights\u003c/a> for its “smart mix” of tools, and received a 2015 \u003ca href=\"https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/blog/2015/01/29/combating-human-trafficking-supply-chains\">Presidential Medal\u003c/a> from President Obama.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The WSR approach is distinguished from CSR by the fact that its design emerges from the very community most affected by the exploitation it was created to prevent and extinguish. In Immokalee’s case, the Fair Food Program was built by and for workers like Rodriguez, Salucio, and Perez. This is important not so much for ideological as for practical reasons.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/05/180521-fair-food-program-protest-2-700x870.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-128567\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/05/180521-fair-food-program-protest-2-700x870.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"870\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/05/180521-fair-food-program-protest-2-700x870.jpg 700w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/05/180521-fair-food-program-protest-2-700x870-160x199.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/05/180521-fair-food-program-protest-2-700x870-240x298.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/05/180521-fair-food-program-protest-2-700x870-375x466.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/05/180521-fair-food-program-protest-2-700x870-520x646.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\">\u003c/a>“The myriad ways in which perpetrators can be abusive is spectacularly creative—if you stop abuse in one place it pops up in another,” said Cathy Albisa, director of the\u003ca href=\"https://www.nesri.org/about/staff\"> National Economic & Social Rights Initiative\u003c/a>, which houses a growing \u003ca href=\"https://wsr-network.org/\">WSR Network\u003c/a>, a coalition of worker and human rights organizations. “Only the worker knows all the different ways this happens and how to design a program that stops it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite its goal of ending sexual harassment, the Fair Food Program was not designed as a sexual harassment program. “While counterintuitive, you can’t end gender-based violence by working directly on gender-based violence,” Albisa explained. “You can only end gender-based violence by working on structural issues that enable it, and those also shape the wider array of abuses affecting the whole community.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By rectifying long-standing power imbalances, WSR drills into the foundation of the problem, addressing multiple abuses simultaneously. No gender-based violence programs have achieved the same amount of leverage in fostering change, noted Albisa, who has been working in women’s and social justice movements for the past two decades.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A central mechanism of WSR is the enforcement of its standards through the application of strict market consequences for the most egregious human rights violations. In the case of the Fair Food Program, “zero tolerance” for abuses like slavery and sexual assault is backed up by a system of enforcement. Since the program was launched in 2011, seven growers were suspended for violations, 12 supervisors were terminated for sexual harassment, and 36 supervisors were disciplined for sexual harassment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Cruz Salucio explained, “It’s like we have a basket of apples, and we keep on removing the bad ones,” so the culture of worker health and safety keeps getting stronger. Credible threats of lost employment and business are potent incentives for industry-wide compliance that can lead to structural change. Disciplinary actions, supervisor re-training, and effective human resources stop the recurrence of violence, according to the\u003ca href=\"http://www.fairfoodstandards.org/\"> Fair Food Standards Council\u003c/a>, the program’s third-party monitoring body led by a former New York State Supreme Court Justice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://fairfoodstandards.org/2017-annual-report.pdf\">Grievance data\u003c/a> on farms participating in the program reveal that, although the number of complaints has not gone down since the beginning of the program, the severity of complaints has lessened. Fair Food Standards Council investigators say that in the last eight years, they have received and investigated over 2,000 worker complaints and that the program has brought an end to impunity for discrimination and other forms of gender-based violence on participating farms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Their just-released \u003ca href=\"http://www.fairfoodstandards.org/reports/\">report\u003c/a> indicates that there have been no reported cases of rape and attempted rape since the 2011 season, when the program was put in place, and cases of sexual harassment with physical contact by supervisors have been virtually eliminated (only one such case has been reported since 2013). Spending time with workers during Fair Food Standards Council audits reveals their confidence and eloquence as they speak to issues that concern them.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch4>\u003cstrong>WSR in Other Industries\u003c/strong>\u003c/h4>\n\u003cp>The Fair Food Program is not only improving the lives of farmworkers in Florida; it’s also serving as a blueprint for change in other industries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vermont’s\u003ca href=\"https://migrantjustice.net/\"> Migrant Justice\u003c/a>, a worker-led human rights organization, \u003ca href=\"https://civileats.com/2017/10/04/ben-jerrys-pledges-to-protect-dairy-workers-rights/\">recently launched\u003c/a>\u003ca href=\"http://milkwithdignity.org/\"> Milk with Dignity\u003c/a>, the program’s first major adaptation, and the group is already working with its first corporate partner, global ice cream maker Ben & Jerry’s. Migrant Justice’s history offers insight into the shift from traditional legal and corporate social responsibility approaches to the WSR regulatory model.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Migrant Justice was founded in response to the \u003ca href=\"https://civileats.com/2015/05/11/will-ben-and-jerrys-help-improve-conditions-for-dairy-workers/\">workplace death of a 20-year old dairy worker in 2009\u003c/a>, it started with \u003cem>Teleayuda,\u003c/em> a phone help line. Worker calls about abuse resulted in cumbersome processes with such obstacles as a lack of direct service providers, interpreters, farm access, and leverage with managers. Migrant Justice organizer Marita Canedo described the prior dynamic: “If something happens to you at work, call us and we can \u003cem>maybe\u003c/em> do something.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Now,” she continues, “if there’s harassment or any kind of violence, workers can call the Milk with Dignity hotline, a Milk with Dignity Standards Council investigator will answer the phone in a language they understand and address the problem immediately.

Though farm laborers and fashion models have very different work environments, women’s experiences of sexual misconduct are similar across industries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Unlike farmworkers, fashion models are highly visible, and while their job appears to be glamorous, the reality of models’ working lives can be far from it,” Model Alliance’s Executive Director Sara Ziff told Civil Eats. Working models experience chronic harassment, pressures to sacrifice their health to be thin, and lack of financial transparency and timely pay. In some cases, models are children working in debt to agencies. “Without clear penalties for violations and proper complaint and enforcement mechanisms, [efforts] fall short of protecting the people who are vulnerable to abuse.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Echoing CIW leaders’ worries, Ziff observes that neither legal protections nor companies’ internal policies introduced in the wake of the #MeToo and Time’s Up movements have proven adequate to prevent assault.

"headTitle": "Bay Area Bites | KQED Food",
"content": "\u003cp>\"Does this bread taste the same as it would taste as if a Pole had baked it?\" asks Salam Salti. He is wearing a white apron and a baker's cap with his name on it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Salti is participating in a new Polish campaign called \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=npStsOYlraM&t=126s\">\u003cem>Nasz Chleb Powszedni\u003c/em>\u003c/a>, or \"Our Daily Bread,\" which aims to inspire tolerance and understanding in Poland by having people from five marginalized groups — gays, Jews, Muslims, refugees and black people — bake and sell bread to customers at the Putka Bakery in Warsaw. The experience is encapsulated in a three-minute video released on YouTube. The next part of the campaign includes selling bread baked by minorities in various cities around the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The campaign is headed by two women, Anna Bińczyk and Magdalena Korzyńska. \"We were looking for something that would connect people instead of dividing them,\" says Bińczyk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The video jumps between shots of the participants preparing, kneading and dusting bread among snippets from events in Poland containing nationalist, anti-Semitic, homophobic and anti-Muslim messages. Although Polish Defense Minister \u003ca href=\"https://tvnwarszawa.tvn24.pl/informacje,news,blaszczak-o-ksenofobii-to-nie-jest-zjawisko-powszechne-to-margines,211530.html\">Mariusz Błaszczak\u003c/a> claims that xenophobia is a rare occurrence, the numbers tell a different story.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"http://www.batory.org.pl/upload/files/pdf/MOWA_NIENAWISCI_MOWA_POGARDY_INTERNET.pdf\">Stefan Batory Foundation\u003c/a>, a non-governmental organization that supports democracy in Poland, issued a report that analyzed the use and consequences of hate speech among Polish adults and young people (16-18 years old) first in 2014, and again in 2016, times surrounding the parliamentary elections of 2015. It found that incidents of hate speech aimed at minority groups (refugees, immigrants, Muslims, the LGBT+ community, Jews, Roma, and people of color) increased during that period, and that more Polish people were exposed to hate speech in public spaces, the media and online. The report said that repeated exposure to hate speech was associated with a higher tolerance for it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://youtu.be/npStsOYlraM\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"https://pk.gov.pl/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/8ffee219b2f4dd56387508008eee13a5.pdf\">National Public Prosecutor's Office\u003c/a> reports that the number of cases against racist, xenophobic or homophobic crimes has been rising steadily since 2012, when there were 473 cases reported. In the first part of 2017 alone, that number was 947.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Hate speech and violence motivated by prejudice are not rare in Poland. They are poisoning the public sphere. The amount of hate based on someone's ethnic origins, race, nationality or sexual orientation is huge in Poland,\" says Damian Wutke, secretary of the\u003ca href=\"http://www.otwarta.org/\"> Association Against Racism and Xenophobia\u003c/a>, one of the two organizations involved in making the video. The other is \u003ca href=\"http://uchodzcy.info/organization/chlebem-i-sola/\">Chlebem i Solą\u003c/a> (With Bread and Salt), which is devoted to helping refugees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Salti has been living in Warsaw since 1991, and he says he feels both Syrian and Polish. He is now a well-respected gynecologist, but claims that he still occasionally hears racial slurs, such as \"dirty Arab.\" He says he replies to them with humor: \"Thank you for letting me know. I'm now going home to take a shower.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To counteract these trends, Bińczyk and Korzyńska decided to dig deep into the symbolic importance of food, and most specifically, bread. \"In Poland, bread has a place on every table, regardless of our opinions and prejudices,\" Bińczyk explains.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Shared meals are moments that should bring people together — and bread is a symbol that is almost sacred. We share it. We pray for it. No one should lack for bread and you should never throw it away,\" says Wutke.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Traditionally, if a piece of bread falls on the floor, it is picked up, blessed with the sign of the cross and sometimes even kissed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Polish poet \u003ca href=\"http://www.babelmatrix.org/works/pl/Norwid%2C_Cyprian_Kamil-1821/Moja_piosnka_%5BII%5D/en/1590-My_Song_II\">Cyprian Kamil Norwid\u003c/a> wrote,\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\n\u003cp>For that land where a scrap of bread is picked up\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From the ground out of reverence\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Heaven's gifts ...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I am homesick, Lord!\u003c/p>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Like many Polish intellectuals, writers and artists of the late 19th century, Norwid himself spent a lot of time living abroad, including New York, Berlin, London and finally Paris where he died. This was motivated both by his desire to study painting in Germany and Italy, and the fact that at that time, \u003ca href=\"https://www.britannica.com/event/Partitions-of-Poland\">Poland was divided\u003c/a> between Russia, Prussia, and Austria, and didn't exist as an independent country. Many intellectuals were forced into exile.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Throughout history, Poles also moved abroad in search of better opportunities, especially after Poland joined the European Union in 2004 and getting a job in Western Europe became easier. This type of emigration is called \u003cem>za chlebem\u003c/em>, or \"after the bread.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But can food — and especially bread — help foster tolerance and understanding? Salti believes so.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Food is not just food. It's one of life's basic pleasures. Not everyone likes drinking alcohol or smoking marijuana, but a common meal can bring people together. You can eat my food. I can eat your food. And the gap between us has decreased,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although the makers of \u003cem>Nasz Chleb Powszedni\u003c/em> had problems convincing bakeries to participate (many owners were worried about how business would be affected by such a campaign), the video was hugely popular in Poland, and gained the attention of several major media outlets, including \u003cem>Gazeta Wyborcza\u003c/em>, the country's most prominent newspaper. The video attracted more than one million views on the first day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It was so popular because it left the viewer with a feeling of reassurance, it's very positive.

He is wearing a white apron and a baker's cap with his name on it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Salti is participating in a new Polish campaign called \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=npStsOYlraM&t=126s\">\u003cem>Nasz Chleb Powszedni\u003c/em>\u003c/a>, or \"Our Daily Bread,\" which aims to inspire tolerance and understanding in Poland by having people from five marginalized groups — gays, Jews, Muslims, refugees and black people — bake and sell bread to customers at the Putka Bakery in Warsaw. The experience is encapsulated in a three-minute video released on YouTube. The next part of the campaign includes selling bread baked by minorities in various cities around the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The campaign is headed by two women, Anna Bińczyk and Magdalena Korzyńska. \"We were looking for something that would connect people instead of dividing them,\" says Bińczyk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The video jumps between shots of the participants preparing, kneading and dusting bread among snippets from events in Poland containing nationalist, anti-Semitic, homophobic and anti-Muslim messages. Although Polish Defense Minister \u003ca href=\"https://tvnwarszawa.tvn24.pl/informacje,news,blaszczak-o-ksenofobii-to-nie-jest-zjawisko-powszechne-to-margines,211530.html\">Mariusz Błaszczak\u003c/a> claims that xenophobia is a rare occurrence, the numbers tell a different story.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"http://www.batory.org.pl/upload/files/pdf/MOWA_NIENAWISCI_MOWA_POGARDY_INTERNET.pdf\">Stefan Batory Foundation\u003c/a>, a non-governmental organization that supports democracy in Poland, issued a report that analyzed the use and consequences of hate speech among Polish adults and young people (16-18 years old) first in 2014, and again in 2016, times surrounding the parliamentary elections of 2015. It found that incidents of hate speech aimed at minority groups (refugees, immigrants, Muslims, the LGBT+ community, Jews, Roma, and people of color) increased during that period, and that more Polish people were exposed to hate speech in public spaces, the media and online. The report said that repeated exposure to hate speech was associated with a higher tolerance for it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

In the first part of 2017 alone, that number was 947.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Hate speech and violence motivated by prejudice are not rare in Poland. They are poisoning the public sphere. The amount of hate based on someone's ethnic origins, race, nationality or sexual orientation is huge in Poland,\" says Damian Wutke, secretary of the\u003ca href=\"http://www.otwarta.org/\"> Association Against Racism and Xenophobia\u003c/a>, one of the two organizations involved in making the video. The other is \u003ca href=\"http://uchodzcy.info/organization/chlebem-i-sola/\">Chlebem i Solą\u003c/a> (With Bread and Salt), which is devoted to helping refugees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Salti has been living in Warsaw since 1991, and he says he feels both Syrian and Polish. He is now a well-respected gynecologist, but claims that he still occasionally hears racial slurs, such as \"dirty Arab.\" He says he replies to them with humor: \"Thank you for letting me know. I'm now going home to take a shower.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To counteract these trends, Bińczyk and Korzyńska decided to dig deep into the symbolic importance of food, and most specifically, bread. \"In Poland, bread has a place on every table, regardless of our opinions and prejudices,\" Bińczyk explains.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Shared meals are moments that should bring people together — and bread is a symbol that is almost sacred. We share it. We pray for it. No one should lack for bread and you should never throw it away,\" says Wutke.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Traditionally, if a piece of bread falls on the floor, it is picked up, blessed with the sign of the cross and sometimes even kissed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Polish poet \u003ca href=\"http://www.babelmatrix.org/works/pl/Norwid%2C_Cyprian_Kamil-1821/Moja_piosnka_%5BII%5D/en/1590-My_Song_II\">Cyprian Kamil Norwid\u003c/a> wrote,\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\n\u003cp>For that land where a scrap of bread is picked up\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From the ground out of reverence\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Heaven's gifts ...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I am homesick, Lord!\u003c/p>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Like many Polish intellectuals, writers and artists of the late 19th century, Norwid himself spent a lot of time living abroad, including New York, Berlin, London and finally Paris where he died. This was motivated both by his desire to study painting in Germany and Italy, and the fact that at that time, \u003ca href=\"https://www.britannica.com/event/Partitions-of-Poland\">Poland was divided\u003c/a> between Russia, Prussia, and Austria, and didn't exist as an independent country. Many intellectuals were forced into exile.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Throughout history, Poles also moved abroad in search of better opportunities, especially after Poland joined the European Union in 2004 and getting a job in Western Europe became easier. This type of emigration is called \u003cem>za chlebem\u003c/em>, or \"after the bread.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But can food — and especially bread — help foster tolerance and understanding? Salti believes so.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Food is not just food. It's one of life's basic pleasures. Not everyone likes drinking alcohol or smoking marijuana, but a common meal can bring people together. You can eat my food. I can eat your food. And the gap between us has decreased,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although the makers of \u003cem>Nasz Chleb Powszedni\u003c/em> had problems convincing bakeries to participate (many owners were worried about how business would be affected by such a campaign), the video was hugely popular in Poland, and gained the attention of several major media outlets, including \u003cem>Gazeta Wyborcza\u003c/em>, the country's most prominent newspaper. The video attracted more than one million views on the first day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It was so popular because it left the viewer with a feeling of reassurance, it's very positive. And that's what we're missing in Poland the most,\" says Bińczyk. And despite some rather frightening events in Poland — a 14-year old \u003ca href=\"http://wiadomosci.gazeta.pl/wiadomosci/7,114883,22859515,w-warszawie-pobito-14-letnia-turczynke-ale-blaszczak-przekonuje.html\">Turkish girl was violently beaten\u003c/a> in Warsaw in January — there is some hope that \"hate will never become our daily bread.

In recent months, President Trump's trade policies have added fears of a trade war with China, the loss of friendly trade agreements and instability around the farm bill to the list.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The string of political shifts have shaken farm country.

Crops and livestock have extremely tight profit margins, in part because commodity markets are vulnerable to outside forces like weather and politics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It all comes at a time when the U.S. Department of Agriculture is projecting net farm income could fall to a 12 year low. Those slipping prices have meant existing crop insurance programs, which guarantee farmers a minimum price for what they plant, aren't helping to keep farmers solvent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The current farm bill was passed four years ago when crop prices were higher and farmers were faring better. That bill is set to expire at the end of September. Although many of the programs would continue even if Congress fails to act, the lack of a long-term bill would create further uncertainty for farmers as they begin to plan for the next planting season and apply for loans to put crops in the ground.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_128379\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/05/gettyimages-598860174_slide-21507c72f0f4ced1081fdae903811f4dae1dc9bf-e1526920251805.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-128379\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A file photo of farmland near Denver in 2016. \u003ccite>(Robyn Beck/AFP/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\"The safety net which we have in the farm bill right now, which really helps farmers make ends meet during stressful times, is inadequate,\" Purdue said. \"A lot of farmers are concerned that without improvements to that safety net, they're not going to be able to continue their operation.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Trump supporters worry Trump is making challenges worse\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many of President Trump's farm state supporters in the Senate are starting to worry that the president's policies and the political fight in the House are taking their toll on farmers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"A lot of these folks are really concerned and it's gotten to the point where in some areas there's been suicide hotlines that have now been established for more than a year,\" said South Dakota Senator Mike Rounds. \"They want the president to succeed, they want him to be strong but they want to know what his end game is.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rounds said farmers are generally big supporters of President Trump. But he said many are scared about the future and the stress and financial pressure in his home state of South Dakota may be causing the worst farm crisis since the 1980's.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They still want to know what are you going to do with the farm bill,\" Rounds said. \"Are you going to provide us with protections in the farm bill so we know that if we are hurt by the negotiations with regard to tariffs with China, is there something that is going to be able to get us by.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those fears have senators like Rounds and Senate Agriculture Committee Chairman Pat Roberts frustrated that Republicans in the House are insisting on picking a fight with Democrats over food stamp funding in the farm bill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This farm bill means everything — more especially crop insurance,\" Roberts said. \"There are too many questions unanswered right now.

In recent months, President Trump's trade policies have added fears of a trade war with China, the loss of friendly trade agreements and instability around the farm bill to the list.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The string of political shifts have shaken farm country. Matt Purdue of the National Farmers Union say the instability comes at a time when farmers are already in crisis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Farmers and ranchers have highest rate of suicide by any occupational group,\" Purdue said. \"The rate of suicide is higher than veterans returning from war.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Crop insurance struggles\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Purdue and other experts say the farm economy operates in a unique bind. Crops and livestock have extremely tight profit margins, in part because commodity markets are vulnerable to outside forces like weather and politics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It all comes at a time when the U.S. Department of Agriculture is projecting net farm income could fall to a 12 year low. Those slipping prices have meant existing crop insurance programs, which guarantee farmers a minimum price for what they plant, aren't helping to keep farmers solvent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The current farm bill was passed four years ago when crop prices were higher and farmers were faring better. That bill is set to expire at the end of September. Although many of the programs would continue even if Congress fails to act, the lack of a long-term bill would create further uncertainty for farmers as they begin to plan for the next planting season and apply for loans to put crops in the ground.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_128379\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/05/gettyimages-598860174_slide-21507c72f0f4ced1081fdae903811f4dae1dc9bf-e1526920251805.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-128379\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A file photo of farmland near Denver in 2016. \u003ccite>(Robyn Beck/AFP/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\"The safety net which we have in the farm bill right now, which really helps farmers make ends meet during stressful times, is inadequate,\" Purdue said. \"A lot of farmers are concerned that without improvements to that safety net, they're not going to be able to continue their operation.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Trump supporters worry Trump is making challenges worse\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many of President Trump's farm state supporters in the Senate are starting to worry that the president's policies and the political fight in the House are taking their toll on farmers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"A lot of these folks are really concerned and it's gotten to the point where in some areas there's been suicide hotlines that have now been established for more than a year,\" said South Dakota Senator Mike Rounds. \"They want the president to succeed, they want him to be strong but they want to know what his end game is.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rounds said farmers are generally big supporters of President Trump. But he said many are scared about the future and the stress and financial pressure in his home state of South Dakota may be causing the worst farm crisis since the 1980's.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They still want to know what are you going to do with the farm bill,\" Rounds said. \"Are you going to provide us with protections in the farm bill so we know that if we are hurt by the negotiations with regard to tariffs with China, is there something that is going to be able to get us by.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those fears have senators like Rounds and Senate Agriculture Committee Chairman Pat Roberts frustrated that Republicans in the House are insisting on picking a fight with Democrats over food stamp funding in the farm bill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This farm bill means everything — more especially crop insurance,\" Roberts said. \"There are too many questions unanswered right now. That's why we need to bring certainty and predictability so at least farmers can say, 'well at least I know I have that.'\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Roberts is working with committee Democrats on a bipartisan bill that he hopes to release in the coming weeks. And he's told Trump how critical the Farm Bill programs are in his home state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republican Senator John Thune says he hopes Trump and the rest of Washington realize the stakes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"People are getting a little panicky out there,\" Thune said. \"I think it's an issue the administration needs to pay careful attention to because if they get it wrong it could complicate an already very serious economic crisis in agriculture.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Farmers like Worth are certainly paying attention. He said he talks about politics with his friends now and they worry a lot about what's going on in Washington.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You know, rural America really did elect President Trump and as of today, we're not mad at him,\" Worth said. \"He's done a lot of great things for us. He created some he's also created some hardship for us too.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
